Ismael Saibari struck after 71 seconds for the fastest goal of World Cup 2026 as Morocco beat Scotland 1-0 in Boston, moving to four points from two group games and inching toward the knockout rounds; Scotland failed to test Morocco and remain hopeful only with a favorable result in their remaining group fixtures, while Hakimi faced boos amid ongoing trial controversy.
Ismael Saibari's 69-second goal gave Morocco a 1-0 win over Scotland in Boston, strengthening their grip on a World Cup knockout berth while Hakimi was loudly booed amid rape-trial news.
