The match's only goal came in the 28th minute, scored by John McGinn. But there could have been more goals for Scotland if the players had taken advantage of the numerous chances they created.

Even in defeat, Haiti made a long-awaited World Cup comeback in tonight's match - the last time they participated was in 1974.

Scotland face Brazil in their next match while Haiti faces Morocco.
