Morocco beats Scotland 1-0: Puma jersey torn in World Cup clash
The image quickly went viral on social media. During Morocco’s victory against Scotland in the 2026 World Cup, Neil El Aynaoui found himself with a torn jersey after a clash in the Scottish penalty area.
The scene unfolded in a confused action in front of goal. Players jostled each other, arms tangled, and the Moroccan midfielder got up with his jersey ripped across his chest. In the footage, El Aynaoui appears first surprised, almost incredulous, before play resumes.

The incident immediately amused internet users. Some saw it as a scene worthy of a rock concert rather than a World Cup match, while others mainly noted the intensity of the physical battle imposed by the Scots.
But in Morocco, the episode took on another dimension. Many supporters called out Puma, the equipment supplier for the Lions of the Atlas, over the quality of the jerseys worn by the players. Criticism multiplied on social media, with some arguing that a national team jersey should not tear so easily in a competition of this level.

On the pitch, the Lions of the Atlas answered differently. Morocco won 1-0 against Scotland, a valuable victory that confirms their strong start in this 2026 World Cup after the draw obtained against Brazil.
