Scotland Finally Secure First World Cup Win in 36 Years with 1-0 Victory Over Haiti
Scotland ended a 36-year wait for a World Cup victory by beating Haiti 1-0 in their Group C opener at Boston Stadium. John McGinn scored the only goal in the 28th minute, the shot deflected before finding the net. Haiti made Scotland work hard, showing energy and physicality. Goalkeeper Angus Gunn admitted the team must improve but praised the win’s importance. Match-winner McGinn said the result will inspire young supporters after decades without success. Head coach Steve Clarke highlighted his side’s resilience and solid defending. The victory leaves Scotland in a strong position in Group C, with Brazil and Morocco drawing 1-1 in the other match. Next up is Morocco on Friday as they aim to build on this historic start.
