Scotland's World Cup hopes hit by Saibari's lightning strike after 71 seconds

Ismael Saibari stunned Scotland with a superb finish after just 71 seconds in their World Cup Group C game in Boston. The Moroccan midfielder’s rocket silenced the Tartan Army, who had descended on Foxborough hoping to see Steve Clarke’s men secure a last-32 berth. Instead, the early goal knocked Scotland off top spot and left their World Cup hopes hanging by a thread. The BBC described it as a 'nightmare start' for the Scots, who battled hard but could not recover from the lightning-fast strike. Morocco held on for a 1-0 victory, a result that reverberated through Group C and left Scotland needing results elsewhere.
