📸 First goal since 1974: World Cup side goes wild

The fans can’t contain themselves anymore! And why should they? Their team has just scored its first World Cup goal in an incredible 52 years. 

Lenny Joseph struck for underdog Haiti, after the first two World Cup matches against Scotland and Brazil had passed without a goal of their own, making it 1-0 against Morocco in the 10th minute with a backheel finish. 

An absolute highlight for the fans!

Haiti no longer has any chance of reaching the round of 16, though. Their elimination was already confirmed after the second group match. But after taking a 1-0 lead, the fans are unlikely to care about that for quite a while.
