After beating Haiti in their Group C opener, a draw against the African champions at the Boston Stadium would have virtually guaranteed a spot in the last 32.

Morocco, ranked sixth in the world, scored through Ismael Saibari after 70 seconds and, after rolling with the punches to avoid further damage, the Scots improved after the break.
