Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 on June 13 in Foxboro, Massachusetts.
The result is Scotland’s first World Cup victory since 1990, when they defeated Sweden. That’s 36 years of waiting.
One goal, one very long exhale
Midfielder John McGinn provided the decisive moment, scoring in the first half to give Scotland the only goal they needed.
For a nation that hadn’t even appeared in a World Cup since 1998, a 28-year absence from the tournament’s biggest stage, simply being there was the achievement. Winning was the bonus round.
