A goal by John McGinn in the first half led Scotland to a 1-0 victory over Haiti in a Group C World Cup match at Boston Stadium. This win marks Scotland’s first World Cup victory in 36 years, since 1990, and their first win in a World Cup opener since 1982.
The game saw both teams initially trading attacks, with Scotland gradually gaining control. Despite Haiti’s pressure, Scotland managed to score in the 29th minute. McGinn capitalized on a rebound from a blocked cross to secure the winning goal for Scotland.
In the second half, both teams displayed energy but failed to create significant scoring opportunities. McGinn had a chance to score again but missed, while Haiti also came close to equalizing. However, Scotland held on to secure the victory.
Scotland now leads Group C, while Haiti will aim to bounce back in their upcoming matches against Morocco and Brazil.
