Scotland achieves an important victory against Haiti in a match filled with mixed emotions. Despite Haiti's good level, McGinn's goal makes the difference for the Scots.

A dominant start for Scotland

The match began with clear domination from Scotland in ball possession, while Haiti showed solidity in defense but with gaps that allowed the Scots to pose a threat. Despite this, Haiti managed to take control at certain moments, with steals and attempts from outside the box, although without converting.

McGinn makes the difference

McGinn's lone goal in the first half was decisive for Scotland. Despite Haiti's attempts to equalize the score, the lack of accuracy and the defensive solidity of the Scots allowed them to maintain the advantage. Scotland's pressure was felt in the second half, although Haiti did not cease in their fight for the draw, showing a combative attitude until the end.

Contrasts in the match development

If the first half was marked by the dominance and opportunities of both teams, the second turned into a more rough duel, with scarce goal chances. Despite Haiti's attempts to level the score, Scotland managed to maintain their lead, albeit with difficulties, until the end of the match.
