World Cup: McGinn's record goal seals Scotland's first win in 36 years against Haiti | Sports | Sports Chosun [Sports Chosun Reporter Choi Man-sik] 'Old soldiers never die.' John McGinn (Aston Villa), who gave Scotland their first thrilling victory in 28 years of participating in the World Cup finals, has also set a new milestone in Scottish football history. He set a new record for the oldest goal scorer in Scotland's World Cup history. Scotland won 1-0 against Haiti on the 14th (Korean time) at Boston Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The victory was Scotland's first in 36 years. McGinn, 29, scored the winning goal in the 40th minute of the first half, breaking the record for the oldest scorer in Scottish World Cup history. He also became the first Scottish player to score in the World Cup in 24 years since Ally McCoist in 1998. McGinn's goal was his 17th goal for Scotland, tying him with Kenny Dalglish for third place on the all-time list. "It's a dream come true to score the winning goal in the World Cup," McGinn said after the match. "I'm proud to be part of this team and to make history for Scotland." Scotland's victory was their first in the World Cup since 1986. They had been eliminated in the group stage in all previous appearances. The win gives Scotland a strong chance of advancing to the knockout stage for the first time in their history. "We played well and deserved to win," said Scotland coach Steve Clarke. "We showed great character and determination. We will continue to fight for our fans."
