Summary
Morocco nearly scored another in the 52nd minute when a leader by Bilal El Khannouss off Achraf Hakimi's corner kick was batted down by Gunn. Although Steve Clarke's men played with more intensity after the break, it was Morocco who came closest to getting the game's second goal when an effort by Saibari was deflected on to the bar shortly after the interval. Scotland had a chance in first-half stoppage time when Andy Robertson aimed a cross at John McGinn, who couldn't get a foot on it near the back post.
Furthermore, With the game barely underway, Saibari ran on to a pass from Brahim Diaz with Scotland's defenders left watching and he lashed the ball past goalkeeper Angus Gunn.
