Scotland, Morocco and Steve Clarke
20 June 2026
Morocco beat Scotland 1-0 in Boston after Ismael Saibari scored inside 70 seconds. Steve Clarke’s side failed to produce a shot on target and now need something from their final Group C match against Brazil.
Scotland felt aggrieved after penalty appeals involving John McGinn and Scott McTominay were rejected, while Issa Diop escaped with a yellow card for fouling Che Adams. Morocco defended their early lead and kept Scotland’s qualification hopes fragile.
