FIFA WC 2026: 'It Wasn't My Best Goal,' Says Scotland's McGinn

By IANS News June 14, 2026 • 20:27 PM View: 482

Goalscorer John McGinn admitted his match-winning strike may not have been his finest, but said he could not care less after helping the Scotland football team secure their first FIFA World Cup victory in 36 years with a 1-0 win over Haiti in Group C.

McGinn's deflected effort in the 29th minute proved enough to separate the sides at Boston Stadium as Scotland celebrated their first World Cup win since 1990 and their first appearance at the tournament since 1998.
