Scotland Edge Haiti in Tight World Cup Group C Clash

(MENAFN) Scotland national football team secured a tight 1–0 victory over Haiti national football team on Saturday in their Group C fixture of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, played in Boston, United States.

The decisive moment came in the 28th minute when John McGinn found the net, scoring the only goal of the match and ultimately separating the two sides.

Haiti began the game with a starting eleven featuring Placide, Arcus, Ade, Delcroix, Experience, Deedson, Jacques, Bellegarde, Providence, Isidor, and Pierrot. In the second half, they attempted to shift the momentum through substitutions, with Casimir coming on for Deedson in the 61st minute, followed by Joseph replacing Isidor in the 76th minute, and Fortune entering for Providence in the 85th minute.

Scotland also fielded a strong starting lineup including Gunn, Hickey, Robertson, Hanley, Hendry, McTominay, Doak, Ferguson, McGinn, Adams, and Shankland. As the match progressed, they rotated their squad with Hickey, Doak, and Adams eventually replaced in the 75th minute, while additional changes followed later as they managed the closing stages of the game to protect their lead.

Despite Haiti’s efforts to find an equalizer, Scotland’s advantage held firm until the final whistle.
