Thursday June 7, 2024 for its entry into the 2nd qualifying phase of the Confederation of North, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF) for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Haiti faced Saint Lucia on the field at Widley Turf Stadium (Bridgetown, Barbados).

22 Jean Kevin Duverne (New to competition)

An excellent start for our Grenadiers who won [2-1] despite a difficult start to the match where the midfielder seemed confused and an uninspired game from the Grenadiers.

Ginola Elva, following a defensive error by Jean Kevin Duverne, opened the scoring for Saint Lucia, visibly more comfortable in his game [0-1] unfavorable score unchanged for Haiti at half-time

Returning from the locker room, the Grenadiers finally showed themselves to be more enterprising after the return of Danley Jean Jacques (46') in place of Carl-Fred Sainthé and Jean-Kévin Duverne made us forget his mistake in the first period by scoring a goal on a corner taken by Fafa Picault in the 47' [1-1] before being replaced by Mondy Prunier. More offensive, the Grenadiers put Saint Lucia under pressure but we had to wait until the 77' for the winning goal [2-1] from Duckens Nazon (his 30th goal in 52 selections) allowing the Grenadiers to collect 3 points.

Group C standings :

Curaçao occupies 1st place after its victory over Barbados [4-1] and Haiti 2nd place.
