Summary :

Our Grenadiers continued their flawless run in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers by crushing the Aruba team [5-0]. Dominating the match: 72% possession, 571 passes with 90% accuracy, and 24 shots, including 10 on target, our Grenadiers opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a shot from Danley Jean Jacques in the box [1-0]. Frantzdy Pierrot extended the lead in Haiti's favor with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box in the 35th minute [2-0]. The score remained unchanged at halftime.

Coach Sébastien Migné made a few welcome substitutions in the 46th minute : Duckens Nazon replaced Dany Jean, Leverton Pierre replaced Christopher Attys, and Ruben Providence replaced Fabrice Picault.

After the break, Aruba had the opportunity to take a penalty in the 53rd minute, but Roviën Ostiana's attempt was saved by captain and goalkeeper Johny Placide.

In a very attacking game by the Grenadiers, Rubens Providence scored a third goal for Haiti in the 61st minute [3-0]. Duckens Nazon scored from a free kick in the 67th minute [4-0] and Mondy Prunier in the 86th minute [5-0] sealed the resounding victory for our Grenadiers. Should be noted that Sebastien Migné brought on Mondy Pruniers in the 74th minute to replace Don Deedson Loucius, and Théo Michel came on for Frantzdy Pierrot.

With this third consecutive victory, Haiti joins Curaçao at the top of the standings with 9 points, but with a slightly lower goal difference (+8 versus +9 for Curaçao). Both nations are already assured of a spot in the third round of qualifying.
