Wilson Isidor scored Haiti's second goal against Morocco at Atlanta Stadium, handing the team its first lead of the 2026 World Cup. The goal was also Haiti's first of the tournament and its first World Cup goal in 52 years. The match between Morocco and Morocco kicked off at 6pm ET.
Haiti had not scored in the competition prior to Isidor's strike.
Morocco has tallied 26 shots across its two World Cup 2026 games but converted only five on target into two goals total. The goal came after Morocco had taken an earlier lead. Haiti equalized before Isidor put his side ahead. BBC Sport described the strike as an "extraordinary" goal.
Haiti had yet to score in its group-stage appearances. The result leaves both teams with one win and one loss after two matches each.
