Scotland have lost to Morocco 1-0 thanks to Ismael Saibari's fantastic strike to give the north Africans all three points.

The finish, which occurred just 70 seconds into the match, was the worst possible start for Scotland, who could not find their rhythm.


Steve Clarke's side improved in the second half but could not find a way past Bono in the Morocco goal, as their second World Cup game ended in defeat.
