World Cup 2026: Goalscorer against Brazil, Ismaël Saibari confirms his rise

Ismaël Saibari keeps his momentum going. He opened the scoring against Brazil at the 2026 World Cup with Morocco, further underlining his outstanding current form.

Ismaël Saibari found the net against Brazil, breaking the deadlock in the 21st minute to give Morocco an early lead. This goal brings his tally to 10 in 30 appearances—a solid average for an attacking midfielder, and clear evidence of his increasing consistency with the Atlas Lions. At 25, he is establishing himself as one of the most reliable pieces in Morocco’s attacking setup.

His impressive run is also explained by a sensational season with PSV Eindhoven: 19 goals and 9 assists in 37 matches across all competitions. Voted Eredivisie Player of the Season, he has also caught the eye of Bayern Munich, who are ready to make a major investment. It’s further confirmation of his rapid rise to the elite level.
