Morocco took very little time to score the first goal of the match to take a 1-0 lead over Scotland.
With 1:10 elapsed in the match, Ismael Saibari took a pass down the right side from Brahim Díaz and blasted a kick past Scottish goalkeeper Angus Gunn before the 2' mark. It was the fastest goal scored thus far in the 2026 World Cup.
However, as quickly as Saibari scored, his goal wasn't among the 10 fastest scored in World Cup history. Here are the 10 quickest scores, led by Turkey's Hakan Sukur scoring 11 seconds into its match versus South Korea in 2002.
1. Hakan Sukur – 11 seconds in 2002
2. Vaclav Masek – 15 seconds in 1962
3. Ernest Lehner – 25 seconds in 1934
