Morocco secured a 1-0 victory over Scotland in their Group C match, thanks to an early goal from Ismael Saibari. Scoring just 72 seconds into the game, Saibari set the record for the fastest goal of the tournament, a feat that energized the Moroccan side. Despite Scotland's attempts to equalize, they struggled to create significant scoring opportunities, finishing with only six attempts on goal.

This victory follows Morocco's previous draw against Brazil, positioning them favorably in Group C as they aim for a spot in the knockout stage.
