Scotland makes a winning return to the World Cup, securing a 1-0 victory over Haiti at Boston Stadium.

This marks their first tournament win in 36 years.

McTominay nearly put the Tartan Army ahead early, hitting the post from range.

But McGinn delivered 11 minutes later, his left-footed effort looping over the line to give Clarke's side a deserved lead.

Haiti, sparked by the deficit, immediately sought a response through Providence and Pierrot, but Gunn denied them from close range.

The Grenadiers pushed for an equalizer in the second half, controlling the tempo but struggling to create clear chances.

Scotland was forced to sit deeper to fend off late attacks.

Pierrot had Haiti's best chance five minutes from added time, but couldn't redirect the ball on target, leaving the CONCACAF side goalless despite outperforming Scotland on xG (1.21 to 1.05).

Next up, Scotland faces Morocco on Friday at the same venue, while Haiti takes on Brazil in Philadelphia.

That wraps up our coverage of this 2026 World Cup fixture!

Full-Time

FULL-TIME!

Haiti falls 0-1 to Scotland in this FIFA World Cup match at Boston Stadium.

Scotland is winless in their last nine FIFA World Cup matches against teams from the Americas (two draws, seven losses).

That includes their only previous game against CONCACAF opposition, a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica in 1990.

YELLOW CARD!

McLean is a bit too eager, raising a boot high to win the ball in the air but catching Haiti substitute Casimir's knee instead.

The Scotland midfielder gets a yellow card, and the Grenadiers have a free kick as time quickly runs out.

The fourth official signals six minutes of stoppage time will be added to the end of the match.

YELLOW CARD!

Scotland substitute Curtis raises a boot high and catches Casimir, who was in pursuit of the ball.

He gets a yellow card for the challenge.

Scotland has never lost a World Cup match when leading at halftime, boasting three wins and two draws in such scenarios.

Haiti has been dangerous in the second half, despite fewer shots (five vs.

eight in the first half) and a lower xG (0.19 vs.

0.69).

They've held 51% possession, keeping Scotland on their heels and forcing Clarke's side to defend deep.

SUB: Haiti makes a change, bringing on Fortune for Providence as they continue to push for an equalizer.

A CHANCE GOES BEGGING FOR HAITI!

This is their best opportunity of the night.

Arcus takes a touch from Jean Jacques' pass on the flank, then digs out a fantastic cross.

It finds Pierrot's head between the penalty spot and the six-yard box.

The striker rises highest and turns on the ball with intent, but his header misses the target, forcing Gunn into a full-stretch dive just in case!

SUB: Shankland is withdrawn, giving McLean a chance to impress.

Neither starting striker will see out the game for Clarke's team.
