Morocco holds a 1-0 lead over Scotland at half-time in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C clash.

The North Africans made the perfect start to the match, with Ismael Saibari finding the back of the net in just the second minute to give Morocco an early advantage.

Scotland has struggled to break down the Moroccan defence in the opening half and will need an improved second-half performance to get back into the contest.

Morocco entered the match after earning a 1-all draw against Brazil in their opening Group C fixture, while Scotland began their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Haiti.

Morocco is making its seventh FIFA World Cup appearance. Their best result came at the 2022 FIFA World Cup when they became the first African nation to reach the semi-finals.

Scotland, meanwhile, is competing in its ninth FIFA World Cup. Their previous best performances came when they reached the group stage in each of their eight previous appearances.

Meanwhile, USA beat Australia 2-0 earlier this morning.

Brazil will take on Haiti at 12.30pm, while Turkey will face Paraguay at 3pm.
