FULL TIME: Scotland 1 Haiti 0
DBy David Hirst
Scotland has hung on to beat Haiti 1-0 in their World Cup opener in Boston.
John McGinn's first half opener was enough for the Scots to become the first European team to win a game at the tournament thus far.
Haiti pressed hard for an equaliser in the closing minutes, with Frantzdy Pierrot sending a glancing header just wide.
The win for Scotland, their first at a World Cup since 1990, coupled with Brazil and Morocco's 1-1 draw earlier, means they go top of Group C and in pole position to qualify for the knockout phase.

Time running out for Haiti
DBy David Hirst
Scotland trying to shut up shop now.
Hard to see Haiti salvaging anything out of this game, but there's still time ... six minutes of stoppage time to play.

Haiti on the attack
DBy David Hirst
Haiti have picked up the pace looking for a leveller.
Scotland defenders forced to make some desperate blocks.
Scotland are not home and hosed yet.
Ten minutes to go plus stoppages.

72' Great chance for McGinn
DBy David Hirst
John McGinn should really have another goal.
It was a tricky angle but should have done better, dragging his shot wide.

Scotland fans having fun
DBy David Hirst
It's not been the best game but Scotland fans seem to be enjoying themselves.

65' Drinks break
DBy David Hirst
Another chance to watch a Maccas ad as the players stop for a drinks break.
Sun 14 Jun 2026 at 12:30pm
Gannon-Doak looking good
DBy David Hirst
Ben Gannon-Doak is having a good game for Scotland.
The Bournemouth player just had a tough season with injuries but is proving a real handful for the Haiti defence.
Sun 14 Jun 2026 at 12:27pm
60' Haiti substitution
DBy David Hirst
First change in the match comes for Haiti.
Josue Casimir comes on for Louicius Deedson.

54' Half chance for Scotland
DBy David Hirst
Great cross whipped in by Andy Robertson but Lawrence Shankland can't quite reach it.
Scotland haven't created much but that was a fantastic cross by Robertson.

Haiti struggling to create chances
DBy David Hirst
It keeps breaking down any time Haiti get a chance to attack.
Bellegarde had a good chance to put a ball through into the box put played it straight out for a goal kick.

45' Early yellow card
DBy David Hirst
Scotland's Aaron Hickey gets a yellow card pretty much straight from kick-off for a foul.

Teams back out for second half
DBy David Hirst
Doesn't look like there have been any half-time substitutions.
Can Scotland hold on or can Haiti find a way back into the game?

McGinn fifth top scorer for Scotland
DBy David Hirst
John McGinn is now Scotland's fifth all-time top scorer. Not bad for a midfielder!
He's only nine goals behind legends like Denis Law and Kenny Dalglish.
Sun 14 Jun 2026 at 11:56am
Scotland fans celebrate
DBy David Hirst
I think a few pints would have been spilt when that McGinn goal went in. Will the Scotland fans still be celebrating after 90 minutes?
Sun 14 Jun 2026 at 11:53am
And that's half-time
DBy David Hirst
Scotland go into the break with a slender lead.
They've been the better team but Haiti are not out of this.
A bit more quality up front and Haiti could have had a goal.
