Scotland's World Cup campaign got off to a thrilling start with a 1-0 victory over Haiti, a win that ended a 28-year wait for the Tartan Army. The goal, scored by John McGinn, was a moment of beauty and ugliness, a scuffed shot that deflected off two Haitian defenders and evaded the keeper. It was a hard-fought battle, with Scotland's defense, led by Andy Robertson, keeping Haiti at bay. The win puts Scotland top of Group C, but there's a mountain of work to do before they face Morocco next week. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric, with the Scottish fans singing Flower of Scotland with vim and vigour. The game was a curious affair, with both teams looking nervous and unable to maintain momentum. Haiti caused problems with their pace and directness, but Scotland's defense held firm. The second half was a test of endurance, with Scotland toiling to maintain their lead. The final whistle brought relief and joy, but there's still a long way to go in the tournament. Scotland's next challenge will be to build on this win and improve their goal difference against a sterner examination from Morocco.
