Ismail Sabari Sets Record with Fastest Goal for Morocco in World Cup 2026

Sabari gave the Atlas Lions an early lead against Scotland in their group stage match held at Gillette Stadium in Boston, USA. He found the net just one minute and 21 seconds into the game, taking advantage of a pass inside the penalty area to unleash a powerful shot from the right that found the back of the net, beating the Scottish goalkeeper.
