Just 71 seconds into the match, Saibari opened the scoring for Morocco. He became the first player from that country to score in two consecutive World Cup matches.
Furthermore, this was the fastest goal in World Cup history scored by a North African team, and the second fastest goal in the entire history of the tournament scored by an African team, surpassed only by Asamoah Gyan's goal against the Czech Republic in the 68th second exactly 20 years ago.
Saibari achieved this feat just days after news broke that he had been signed by Bayern Munich from PSV for €55 million. The versatile 25-year-old will be a quality addition to the German champions' midfield next season.

Saibari will shine brightly at the 2026 World Cup. |
The 2001-born star's moment of brilliance decided the match at Gillette Stadium. It was one of Morocco's two shots on target throughout the 90 minutes. Conversely, Scotland were completely ineffective and failed to register a single shot on target.
These three crucial points have put Morocco almost certain to qualify for the knockout round. In their final match, Saibari and his teammates only need one more point against Haiti to secure a place in the group that qualifies directly for the next round.
