Scotland Edges Haiti 1-0 to Secure First World Cup Win Since 1990

2026 FIFA World Cup Key News

Central News Agency (Boston, 13th –综合外电) – Scotland secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Haiti today, with captain John McGinn scoring the game's only goal. This marks Scotland's first World Cup win since 1990 and places them at the top of Group C.

According to Reuters, McGinn struck in the 28th minute, with his shot taking two deflections before finding the back of the net. Prior to that, Scotland had been pressing hard, with Scott McTominay hitting the post in a near miss.

The victory was hard-earned, as Haiti’s players used their remarkable speed to repeatedly threaten Scotland’s defense. However, this Caribbean team, making their first World Cup appearance since 1974, failed to break through and ultimately fell by a single goal.

Scotland will next face Morocco on June 19, who drew against Brazil. Haiti, meanwhile, will take on Brazil—the 'Samba Squad' chasing their sixth World Cup title. (Translation: Liu Wen-Yu) 1150614
