Moroccan player causes a stir at the 2026 World Cup with a record-breaking super-fast goal

Attacking midfielder Ismael Saibari is experiencing the most memorable days of his career as he consistently shines at the 2026 World Cup, just before completing his anticipated transfer to Bayern Munich.

According to multiple sources, the Bundesliga champions have reached an agreement to sign the PSV Eindhoven player and will officially announce the deal after the World Cup ends. Meanwhile, Saibari is using the biggest stage in world football to prove his worth.

After scoring the opening goal in a 1-1 draw against Brazil in the first match, the Moroccan international made another strong impression in the clash with Scotland, which took place on the morning of June 20 (Vietnam time).

Just two minutes into the game, Saibari stunned the Scottish defense with a clever sprint to beat the offside trap. Taking advantage of a defensive error by the opponents, the 25-year-old accelerated down the right flank before firing a decisive shot from a tight angle to beat the Scottish goalkeeper.

The goal was scored at the 71st second, making it the fastest goal of the 2026 World Cup so far.

Not only did he set a speed record, but Saibari also etched his name into African football history. According to Opta statistics, he is the second African player to score in his first two World Cup appearances, following Egyptian legend Mohamed Salah.

Saibari's performance helped Morocco enter the match against Scotland with great confidence. The North African team showcased their cohesion, ball control, and fast-paced attacking style.

Born in 2001, Saibari can play in various attacking positions, including attacking midfielder, deep-lying forward, and winger. His versatility, technical skills, and ability to create chances are the reasons why Bayern Munich holds him in high regard.

If he continues to maintain his current form, Saibari will not only help Morocco advance deep into the World Cup but also provide Bayern Munich with a promising signing ahead of the new season.
