At their second match of the final phase of qualifying for the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup, Turkey, 2013, at "Estadio Universitario BUAP" Puebla (Mexico), our young Grenadiers, face Costa Rica, absolutely had to to win this match to qualify, after their defeat Monday against the USA (2-1) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-7919-haiti-u20-football-the-young-grenadiers-lost-against-the-usa-2-1.html

Unfortunately, our young Grenadiers, who had yet done wonders in the first two qualifying rounds, have lost 1-0 before the Costa Rican.

During a first period few offensive, despite some good opportunities countered by the Costa Rican defense, our Grenadiers cashed a shot of John Ruiz (22').

At the half, the score was 1-0 in favor of Costa Rica.

After the break, the Grenadiers much more aggressive have invested the opposing camp, multiplying the shots on their adversary... in vain : blocked shot, shooting off or saved by the post, the Costa Rican are out unharmed of repeated attacks of our young Grenadiers, which, despite their desire to win at the end of this match, saw their dream of competing in June, to the World Cup, Turkey 2013, definitely fly with a final score, without appeal 1-0 in favor of Costa Rica.

Recall that in history, the Haitian U-20, have never participated in a World Cup FIFA.
