🎥 Scotland top the 🇧🇷 group despite a scare; see the tables | OneFootball

Saturday (13) at the FIFA World Cup ended with Haiti versus Scotland.

The match completed the opening round of Group C. 

In their return to the World Cup after missing six editions (between 2002 and 2022), the The Tartan Army defeated the Caribbean side 1-0.

It was the first European team to win after Czechia, Bosnia and Switzerland had already made their debuts.

And now they top Brazil’s group at the World Cup. 

It was up to McGinn to end a 10,255-day drought without a Scottish goal at the World Cup.

Haiti lost, but “went down fighting” in their second World Cup appearance in history.

Ending a long wait after having played in the 1974 edition. It was a 52-year wait.

The first half was played at high intensity on both sides. And had moments of “end-to-end action.”

McGinn’s goal came after a good contribution from Che Adams and a decisive deflection off Bellegarde.

Haiti improved late on, without giving up on getting at least a point.

Special mention goes to the tireless Providence and Bellegarde.

Pierrot was another danger man: he nearly equalized in the 86th minute.

Scotland did not have the easy time many had expected, but they returned to winning a World Cup match after a long time.

Their last victory had come in the 1990 edition, against Sweden. They did not play in 1994 and picked up only one point in 1998.

They are chasing their long-awaited first qualification for the World Cup knockout stage.

Haiti, meanwhile, showed they may not be the group’s “punching bag.”

Check below for the day’s other matches and then the standings in the groups that have already seen action.

Qatar celebrate historic point

Embolo put Switzerland ahead in the 13th minute. 

Switzerland’s greater share of play did not translate into more goals.

And the famous “if you don’t take your chances, you concede” came true.

In the 94th minute, Al Amin’s perfect cross found center-back Khoukhi.

He got away from Muheim’s marking and beat Kobel. 

The goal secured Qatar’s first-ever World Cup point.

They made their debut in the 2022 edition, which they hosted, and lost all three matches in a group featuring the Netherlands, Senegal and Ecuador. 

Brazil struggle and rescue a draw against Morocco

Brazil “couldn’t get on the ball” in the opening minutes.

And the “deserved” Moroccan goal came in the 21st minute, through Saibari.

Vini Jr. secured the equalizer before the break (32'). 

The second half saw Brazil improve and then drop off in intensity.

Morocco played the better team game and may even “regret” taking only one point.
