John McGinn scored Scotland’s first World Cup goal for 28 years to ensure a winning start against Haiti in Group C.
Brazil’s earlier draw with Morocco meant victory Steve Clarke’s side could move top of the four-team standings – and they held off a spirited Haiti to do just that.
Scott McTominay hit the post, before McGinn sparked wild celebrations as his deflected shot hit the back of the net on the rebound after Che Adams had been denied.
Haiti – back at the World Cup for the first time since 1974 – showed their threat with glimpses in attack and with the Tartan Army still celebrating an historic goal, ‘keeper Angus Gunn spilled a shot from Carlens Arcus.
Ben Gannon-Doak’s angled-drive shot from a Robertson cross was blocked by Martin Experience for a corner, which ultimately came to nothing.
McGinn missed a brilliant chance to put the game out of reach, dragging his effort wide of the post as the nerves kicked in.
Haiti kept pressing for the leveller and with five minutes remaining Frantzdy Pierrot headed wide from 10 yards, spurning a great chance.
It was a crucial victory for the Scots, but they will need to produce better if they are to get out of the group for the first time ever in their history.
The key moments from Boston…
-
17: McTominay agonisingly close to the opener as his effort rattles the post.
-
28: GOAL! McGinn’s deflected shot gives Scotland the lead.
-
30: Gunn spills a shot from Arcus but it is cleared
-
73: McGinn misses the chance to make it 2-0
-
80: Perriot nods his header wide
Analysis: Points over performance
Steve Clarke’s pre-match advice to his players was simple – “don’t get humped.”
They did as they were told, but it was a nervy night for those in the stadium and back at home.
Scotland lacked any proper control and know that will need to improve if they are to get out of the group as better sides than Haiti await.
John McGinn scored the only goal, but Ben Gannon-Doak showed again what he can do in a Scotland jersey, although he was not used enough to really make his mark.
The start they wanted, but still much work to do before they take on Morocco next.
What the result means…
