Haiti News and Form
It is a good run of form that Haiti have put together, especially in having put three wins from three on the board in the group stage of the Gold Cup. They started with a victory over Bermuda before then taking down Nicaragua. That left them in a big showdown for top spot against Costa Rica in their final game. Haiti were underdogs for that but pulled off the shock result with a 2-1 scoreline. Haiti scored exactly two goals in each of their three group stage matches.
There were underdog odds against them in their quarter-final tie as they were up against Canada. Things looked done and dusted for their campaign as Haiti fell 2-0 down in the first half hour of the game. But then came a stunning fightback from them in which they claimed a 3-2 success. Haiti have two players on two goals for the tournament, Duckens Nazon and Frantzdy Pierrot. Can they take this journey further? This is the first time that they have been past the quarterfinals since 2000. Haiti are now on a five-match winning streak and are W9 L3 in their last twelve.
