Ismael Saibari Makes World Cup History as First African to Score in Every Group Stage Match
Ismael Saibari etched his name into the history books after becoming the first African player to score in all three group-stage matches of a FIFA World Cup.
The Moroccan midfielder achieved the feat during Morocco's thrilling clash with Haiti, scoring his third goal of the 2026 FIFA World Cup to level the match at 2-2 at Halftime.
The goal came from a well-worked move down the right wing, with Achraf Hakimi bursting forward before delivering a low cross into the penalty area. Saibari timed his run perfectly and calmly side-footed the ball into the net to complete Morocco's comeback.
