Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 on June 13 in Foxboro, Massachusetts, marking their first World Cup victory since 1990.
Midfielder John McGinn provided the decisive moment, scoring the only goal in the first half. The win ends a 28-year tournament absence for a nation that last appeared in 1998. Manager Steve Clarke, under significant pressure, secured relief with Scotland’s fifth World Cup victory.
Scotland now sits atop Group C alongside Brazil. Their next match is against Morocco in the Boston area.
Thousands of traveling fans poured into Boston streets to celebrate, with a notable post-match gathering at Fenway Park. Scotland has never progressed beyond a World Cup group stage, making this generation-defining win critical.
