World Cup live updates: Scotland vs Morocco, Brazil vs Haiti, Türkiye vs Paraguay

Scotland fans pay tribute to Donny Strathie.

The 76-year-old Scotland fan died in Boston last week and was supposed to be at this game.

Fans around the ground rise to applaud Strathie.

Right after the drinks break Dykes and McLean are on.

Christie and Adams go off.

Dykes is a big centre forward.

Will Scotland start to go long?

Best chance of the game for Scotland.

It was a tough one though.

Ryan Christie gets a shot away but it blazes over the bar.

Right on cue.

Ben Gannon-Doak comes on.

Kieran Tierney is off. Looks like he picked up an injury.

Scotland still haven’t created a chance.

Time for a change?

Lucky escape for Scotland.

A great block from Jack Hendry saves Scotland.

A cut back finds Ismael Saibari, only for Hendry to deflect the shot up on to the junction of crossbar and post.

Scotland want a penalty!

John McGinn goes down in the box.

The Moroccan didn’t get the ball but I think McGinn went down a little easy.

No penalty.

No changes from either side.

Socceroos legend Harry Kewell says he’s been impressed with Morocco’s “pace and power”.

He also says Scotland “has to give that little bit more”.

Since opening the scoring after 70 seconds, Morocco have dominated this game.

Scotland have looked a little leggy, struggling to create any chances.

Morocco comfortable.

Morocco on top this half.

Should do better.

Just as I was praising Saibari.

He is free in the box but balloons the ball over.

Had to take it first time but should score.

Morocco have managed to keep Scotland’s main man Scott McTominay out of the game.

The Scots are struggling to get anywhere near the Moroccan goal.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see some changes at half time.

Hi Rachel, good question!

The fastest World Cup goal was 11 seconds by Hakan Şükür for Türkiye in 2002.

Full disclosure, I had to look that up.

Interestingly, Morocco’s goal isn’t even in the top 10 quickest.

That’s two goals in two games for Ismael Saibari.

Looks a real danger.

He’ll join Bayern Munich after the World Cup apparently.

A French appeals court has confirmed that Morocco star player Achraf Hakimi will stand trial in a rape case.

The PSG defender had appealed a February decision by an investigative judge. That ruling followed recommendations from public prosecutors that Hakimi should face trial.

The decision was released just hours before Morocco’s clash with Scotland.

Hakimi, one of the best right backs in the world, denies any wrongdoing. He faced preliminary charges of rape in March 2023 after a 24-year-old woman said she was raped by Hakimi at his home in a Paris suburb.

That early goal has shocked Scotland.

They’re struggling to get on the ball with Morocco having most of it.

Still a long way to go in this game.

Morocco are a top side though. They reached the semis in the last World Cup and won the Africa Cup of Nations this year.

The fastest goal of the World Cup so far.

Just 70 seconds on the clock.

Ismael Saibari gets the ball, charges into the box before blasting a shot into the roof of the net.

The Scots are stunned.

That was a fantastic finish by the Moroccan striker.

Let’s have a recap of what happened in the first round of games in Group C.

Scotland recorded a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Haiti in their opening game thanks to a goal from John McGinn.

Morocco played well in their 1-1 draw with heavyweights Brazil.

At the moment, the Scots lead the group.
