John McGinn scored the only goal as Scotland opened their World Cup campaign with a nervous win over Haiti. The Scots were playing on the global stage for the first time since 1998 as they trekked out to Boston, Massachusetts, and produced an entertaining game worthy of a near three-decade wait. A route-one attack kept Haiti pinned for much of the first half, with Ben Gannon-Doak causing countless problems for his markers. It was one of his driving runs and subsequent cross which forced the Johnny Placide error that teed up McGinn’s opener – the eventual winner.
