Moroccan star Ismail Saibari continued his remarkable run, netting the Atlas Lions' second goal against Haiti. This strike occurred during the third round of the 2026 World Cup group stage, where Morocco secured a significant 4-2 victory at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Saibari's Record-Breaking Performance
Saibari's tally for the tournament now stands at three goals, having previously found the net against Brazil and Scotland in earlier rounds. It stands to reason, this impressive streak makes him the first Arab player in World Cup history to score in three consecutive matches, surpassing the record he once shared with Egyptian sensation Mohamed Salah. Furthermore, Saibari has become the first African player to score in every group stage game of a single World Cup edition, a truly remarkable feat. This achievement underscores the growing prowess of African and Arab footballers on the global stage, signaling a promising future for regional talent.
