The latter won 2-1 even though they had been trailing and had been under constant pressure from the Haitians for a good part of the match, both on the field and in the stands.You’ve got to say, everything had a Haitian vibe that Friday night at Lionel Messi’s new Inter Miami stadium. The whole place was soaked in that Creole spirit that Haitians carry with them everywhere. Fans cheering for the players, chants echoing in unison, impromptu debates among supporters, and the joyful shouts after every risky play. Even the ads around the stadium were Haitian. For almost two hours, Nu Stadium turned into a true ‘Nu Sylvio-Cator.’ For around sixty minutes, Haiti put on an absolutely top-notch performance against a Peruvian team used to big international showdowns. Sébastien Migné’s squad played with confidence, energy, and ambition. Wilson Isidor’s goal in the 16th minute was one of those you usually see scored by football’s biggest stars. A goal that sent the stands into a frenzy and confirmed the team was in great form.displayed by the Grenadiers.
