Saibari fuels Morocco's dream

Gulf Today

June 21, 2026

Ismael Saibari had never played as Morocco's lead striker before the World Cup, but he has seized his chance in style, scoring twice at the tournament, including the winner against Scotland on Friday.

The PSV Eindhoven talisman, who also scored against Brazil in their Group C opener, was named man-of-the-match in their 1-0 win over the Scots as the North African side moved closer to the Round of 32.

Saibari's winner against Scotland, scored after 71 seconds, made him only the second African player after Egypt’s Mohamed Salah to score in each of his first two World Cup appearances.

Much of Saibari's recent scoring surge has been driven by coach Mohamed Ouahti, who moved him from the playmaker and winger roles he filled under former Morocco boss Walid Regragui into a central striking position.
