After the elimination of the Grenadiers, of the Gold Cup 2019, in the semifinal match against Mexico [0-1] on a questionable penalty https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-28137-haiti-gold-cup-2019-haiti-eliminated-in-semi-final-by-mexico-[0-1]-on-a-questionable-penalty.html , the Grenadiers coach Marc Collat ​​in press conference answering journalists declared :

"[...] Mexico's victory is deserved, now it's true that I would have preferred it to score a goal, other than on this incident because there... I really had the impression that we wanted Mexico to go in the final

This defeat puts an end to a series of 8 successive victories since we had won four matches in the League of Nations and our four Gold Cup matches.

So I hope that from September [against Curaçao and Costa Rica as part of the regional qualifiers of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar], we will start a new series (of victories). I think the players in this competition have realized their possibilities, now we missed a bit of cool in this game because my attackers gave a lot and we did not create enough opportunities in this encounter to score a goal, so we still have work to do, but I would say that today we have good bases.

[...] We must also know that during this competition we had problems we lost our central hinge https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-27910-icihaiti-gold-cup-hard-blow-for-grenadiers.html , so you realize that behind there is still a great potential [...]

[...] we knew a little bit the scenario of this match, we knew that Mexico was going to have possession of the ball, we our goal was to play well the few cons we had, the few opportunities. Unfortunately, we have not been very successful in this sector, we have not managed to go to the end of our intentions and we also had the misfortune to meet the crossbar two minutes from the end https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-28137-haiti-gold-cup-2019-haiti-eliminated-in-semi-final-by-mexico-[0-1]-on-a-questionable-penalty.html . It will have been a good story for us to go to the penalty shoot-out [...]"
