The Scottish team successfully began their appearance at the 2026 World Championships, defeating Haiti with a 1:0 score. The winning goal was scored by John McGinn, who not only brought his team three points, but also added to the history of the national team.

According to Opta, footballer Aston Willie has become the oldest Scottish footballer to score a goal at a world championship. At the time of capture, McGinn was 31 years old and 238 days old..

In front of the line lay the legendary Kenny Dalglish. The forward scored in the 1982 World Cup in the match against New Zealand for 31 goals and 103 days.

Thus, the goal against Haiti allowed McGinn to not only become the hero of Scotland’s opening match at the 2026 Emergency, but also to rewrite one of the historical statistical pages of the national team.

Yours sincerely, video of goals and highlights of the 2026 emergency match between Haiti and Scotland.
