Summary
Scotland were as stodgy in attack as they have been for a long time, and it took until first-half stoppage time for them to create anything dangerous. But that was of little use as Morocco when head practically from kickoff. The 25-year-old, who was born in Spain and raised in Belgium, is reportedly on the brink of a $63m transfer from Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven to Bayern Munich.
Furthermore, The labored 1-0 win over Haiti in their opening game at the same stadium last week — which was their first victory at a World Cup since 1990 — gap them a platform to build on and reason to believe they can progress beyond the group stage at a World Cup for the very first time. Morocco, who defended Scotland 3-0 when the teams met at the 1998 World Cup, three-timed to overrun their options every time they got forward but were wasteful, with Bilal El Khannouss squashing a good chance on 36 minutes. With four points from two games, Morocco are first to advance to the last 32 as they aim to at least match their historic run to the semifinals in Qatar in 2022.
In addition, Ryan Christie fired over on 64 minutes after being teed up by Scott McTominay, who hit the side-netting late on, but a Scotland goal proved elusive. The quality of his strike past goalkeeper Angus Gunn shown why he is attractive such interest, and it was telling that Scotland lacked the same quality in the opposition box — that helps explain why Morocco are ranked fifth in the world, and Scotland 40th.
