McTominay and McGinn Miss Out as Scotland Suffer Crushing Defeat to Morocco
Scotland's 2026 World Cup campaign suffered a setback with a 1-0 defeat to Morocco in Boston. The loss means they must secure a positive result against Brazil in their final Group C match to have any chance of advancing to the last 32.
The match got off to a disastrous start for Scotland, with Ismael Saibari scoring an unstoppable strike into the top corner from an angle after just 70 seconds. Despite their efforts, Scotland failed to muster a shot on target throughout the match.
Morocco had opportunities to double their lead, with Bilal El Khannouss blazing over in the first half. Scotland's John McGinn appealed for a penalty early in the second half, but the referee's decision was upheld by the VAR.
The Scots struggled to create openings, with Ryan Christie firing over from a half-chance. They had another penalty appeal turned down late on, this time for a foul on Scott McTominay.
The defeat leaves Scotland requiring at least a point from their daunting clash with Brazil to stay in contention. The team's performance was underwhelming, with few players making a significant impact. They will need to improve drastically to get a result against the Brazilian side.
