Scotland beat Haiti to go top of World Cup Group C

Scotland have battled past Haiti 1-0 courtesy of John McGinn’s deflected first-half goal to go top of World Cup Group C with their first win in the tournament since 1990.

McGinn put them into the lead in the 28th minute when his shot took a double deflection to land in the back of the Haiti net.

Scotland, who had hit the post earlier with a Scott McTominay effort, at times struggled with the Haitians’ pace but the Caribbean team, making their first appearance at the World Cup since 1974, lacked clinical finishing.
