Ismael Saibari scored for Morocco for the second time during this year's World Cup, this time against Scotland. His hit gave the Lions of Atlas full points. The PSV player, who will soon move to Bayern Munich, is happy with his team's performance. Already in the second minute of the match, Saibari, playing as a striker, gave Morocco the lead. The ball was sent behind Scotland's defense and went to Saibari, who shot it into the net with a powerful shot. "It was the only free side, but fortunately the ball went into the goal," he said with a smile in an interview with NOS. "I'm happy with the win. It was a good game for us, we had a lot of possession and a lot of chances. But we should have closed the game earlier. When you win, it doesn't matter." In the first group match, Morocco drew with Brazil. With four points after two games, promotion to the knockout phase is almost certain, and they still have a match against Haiti ahead of them. So the first place in the group is within reach. "We are all motivated. We want to win every match. We will also strive for this with Haiti." For Saibari, who has two goals in two matches, this is an unforgettable World Cup, although he does not want to focus only on himself. "Not only me, but I think everyone in the team feels great. We have a good team with many talented players. This makes it easier for us to play." Coach Mohamed Ouahbi was also satisfied with the team's performance. “It was a great match against a good team like Scotland,” he told beIN Sports. Ouahbi especially praised Saibari. "He has already scored two goals and we all hope that we will continue to play as well." Ouahbi recently took over the Morocco team from Walid Regragui. The current coach also thanked his predecessor for the solid foundations on which he could build further successes. "The group was already ready. My squad and I just added a little youth."
