Ismael Saibari continues to leave his mark on the 2026 World Cup. After scoring against Haiti on the third day of the group stage, the Moroccan international became the first African player to score in each of his team’s three group matches in a World Cup.
Having already been decisive against Brazil and then scoring against Scotland, Saibari found the net once again against Haiti. His goal, scored just before halftime, allowed the Atlas Lions to come back in a match that started poorly, ultimately winning 4-2 and securing their qualification for the Round of 16.
This performance confirms the importance of the PSV Eindhoven player in Morocco’s journey. In three matches, Saibari has established himself as one of the key players for the national team, capable of stepping up in crucial moments.
With this record, Ismael Saibari etches his name into the history of African and Moroccan football.
