For this last match, the Haitian team was deprived of his Captain Capitaine Samuel Mardochée Pompée, because of accumulated errors, replaced by Horat Luckner of the Aigle noir.

In the first half our young Grenadiers took possession of the game, mainly in the midfield, while the host country, seemed to have difficulties to implement specific attacks.

Half Time Haiti 0 - Port-Rico 0

After the break, our young Grenadiers returned to the field with the evident intention of taking control of the game, creating numerous scoring opportunity, but without success. As we approach the 90th minute, in a rough game, nervousness and tension ran high among Puerto Ricans, who experienced their best chance to score against Haiti on a corner, whose shot was stopped spectacularly by Marc Donald, the keeper of our national team.
