The game was played in Boston, with thousands of Scotland fans in attendance. Ben Gannon-Doak's early shot was saved by Haiti keeper Johny Placide. Scott McTominay headed an Andy Robertson cross over the bar.

Why it matters for Scotland

The win puts Scotland in a good position to qualify for the knockout phases. They are now top of Group C, following Brazil and Morocco's 1-1 draw. This is Scotland's first World Cup win since 1990.

What comes next?

Scotland will face Morocco next Friday, then travel to Miami to face Brazil on June 24. They are looking to qualify for the knockout stages for the first time. Friendly wins over Curacao and Bolivia had given the team confidence.
