Morocco took a shock early lead against Scotland in their World Cup Group C encounter in Boston, thanks to a superb finish from Ismael Saibari. The midfielder found the back of the net after only 71 seconds, catching the Scottish defense off guard.

The goal came from a quick Moroccan attack that exploited space behind the Scottish backline. Saibari's composure and precision were evident as he slotted the ball past the goalkeeper. It marked one of the fastest goals of the tournament so far.

For Scotland, this was a nightmare start, as they struggled to recover from the early setback. The match is still ongoing, but Saibari's strike has already made a significant impact on the group dynamics.
