Morocco continue impressive run
In another video, Nora recalled the last time Morocco and Scotland met at a World Cup, 28 years ago, when Morocco secured a 3-0 win.
“Scotland and Morocco are playing again after 28 years. Morocco beat them 3-0 back then. Are we going to do another 3-0? Possible!” she said.
Although the scoreline was not as one-sided, Morocco still emerged victorious thanks to Ismael Saibari’s strike just 71 seconds into the game. The early goal proved enough to seal a 1-0 win and send the North Africans to the top of Group C.
Sharing moments from the match later, Nora wrote: “Morocco vs Scotland. I predicted 1-0 #FifaWorldCup2026.”
Her prediction quickly grabbed attention online as fans praised her lucky call.
