Key Match Moments
In the 70th second, Ismael Saibari scored the only goal for Morocco.
Scotland conceded possession, and Brahim Diaz delivered a brilliant ball down the right flank for Saibari. The Moroccan forward controlled the situation perfectly before smashing a powerful effort past Angus Gunn and into the top-left corner, giving Morocco a 1-0 lead.
Despite the early setback, Scotland attempted to fight back throughout the match. Both John McGinn and Scott McTominay appealed for penalties inside the Morocco box, but neither incident resulted in a spot-kick. In the closing stages, Lyndon Dykes also missed a promising headed opportunity.
Morocco continued to create chances during the second half, but Scotland’s defence and goalkeeper produced several important interventions. However, the North African side maintained their defensive discipline and protected their advantage until the final whistle.

Key Match Moments
A three-goal first half settled the contest as Brazil secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Haiti. It was their first win in the ongoing tournament.
After a relatively slow start, Brazil broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute. Matheus Cunha’s effort took a fortunate deflection before finding the net, giving the Selecao a crucial breakthrough.
Thirteen minutes later, Cunha struck again. The Brazilian forward produced a powerful finish to double Brazil’s advantage and put Haiti under immense pressure.
In the third minute of first-half stoppage time, Vinicius Junior added Brazil’s third goal of the match. Timing his run perfectly, the Brazilian forward calmly slotted the ball past Alexandre Placide to effectively put the contest beyond doubt before the interval.
Brazil thought they had scored a fourth goal late in the match through Endrick, but the effort was ruled out for offside.
Haiti improved after the break and managed to test Alisson Becker, who produced an excellent reaction save shortly after the hour mark. Despite their improvement, Haiti struggled to create meaningful opportunities and finished the match without scoring.
