Bounou Hails Morocco’s Control in 1-0 Win Over Scotland
Morocco edged Scotland 1-0 in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group C opener in Boston. The Atlas Lions took the lead in the second minute when Ismael Saibari sprinted onto a Brahim Diaz pass and fired past Angus Gunn. It was the tournament’s fastest goal so far and Morocco’s quickest ever at a World Cup. Goalkeeper Yassine Bounou praised his teammates for their patience and discipline. “We played a very good game against a strong opponent,” he said. “We created the best chances and handled their low block well.” Morocco now turn their attention to Haiti in their final group match next Thursday.
