What happened: Morocco hold a 1-0 lead over Scotland, with the goal arriving in the 84th minute through Ismael Saibari. The match is still in play, with Scotland chasing an equalizer in the closing stages.

Why it matters: A result here carries knockout-round stakes for both sides. Scotland came in seeking a knockout berth against Morocco, and falling behind this late puts that path under serious pressure with time running short.

By the numbers: Saibari's strike came in the 84th minute, his lone goal on two shots with one on target across his minutes on the pitch.

What to watch: Watch whether Scotland can manufacture a late equalizer before the final whistle, with their group standing riding on the outcome.
