Nathan Patterson (Scotland)
Patterson made his first start of the tournament last night, recalled at right-back after a late injury ruled out first-choice Aaron Hickey, but couldn’t prevent Scotland slipping to a 1-0 defeat to Morocco.
Steve Clarke’s side had made the perfect start against Haiti, but Morocco’s Ismael Saibari struck inside the opening minute and the goal proved enough to hand the Atlas Lions top spot in Group C.
The defender played 88 minutes before making way for Anthony Ralston, and Scotland now need at least a point against Brazil in their final group game to be sure of qualification.
