Scotland vs Morocco

Morocco moved a step closer to the knockout rounds with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Scotland in Boston, building on their impressive opening draw with Brazil. The Atlas Lions, who held the five-time champions to a 1-1 result in their tournament opener, showed the same defensive solidity and counter-attacking threat that made them semi-finalists in Qatar 2022. Eighteen-year-old Ayyoub Bouaddi, whose stunning debut against Brazil sent his Instagram following past a million, was once again calm and composed in midfield. The result leaves Morocco well-placed at the top of Group C heading into their decisive final match against Haiti, while Scotland's win over Haiti in their opener now looks crucial as they fight to advance.
