By losing 1-2 to the South American football representative, Haiti records its first defeat since qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
By falling 1-2 against the South American football representative, Haiti records its first defeat since qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
Everything had actually started well for Haiti, who were tactically and physically in the game before punishing the Peruvian team after the first quarter of an hour of the match.
In top form, Haiti opened the scoring through the inevitable Wilson Isidor (16th minute). At the origin of this goal, a ball loss by a Peruvian defender near the box allowed Don Deedson Louicius to pounce, recover the ball, withstand a challenge from an opponent, and serve Wilson Isidor, who beat the last Peruvian gatekeeper Gallese.By the way, Wilson Isidor, in four matches with Haiti, has 2 goals and 1 assist. Since Jean Rébert Ménélas in 2003, he’s the first Haitian striker to shake the nets of the Peru team.
In the second half, Dominique Simon (72nd minute), who snatches the ball from the Peruvian defender, sees his shot go wide. It was a clear-cut chance for Haiti to widen the gap against Peru.
Before him, Danley Jean Jacques (67th minute) had a good opportunity, but instead of passing to Lenny Joseph, who was well-positioned, he chose to shoot, and his shot was off target.The Peruvians took advantage of Sébastien Migné’s lineup changes to score two goals, with Renzon Garces (80th) and Velez (83rd) finding the net.
All in all, Haiti lost 1-2 to Peru in their last preparatory match before the World Cup.
The Grenadiers’ starting XI:
Johnny Placide (GK) – Carlens Arcus, Ricardo Adé, Hannes Delcroix, Martin Expérience – Danley Jean Jacques, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Ruben Providence, Don Deedson Louicius – Wilson Isidor and Frantzdy Pierrot
