Haiti wins 2-1 in Group B 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup, Qatar's second appearance

Posted : 26 June 2023
In the opening match of Group B in the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup group stage, Haiti began their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Qatar at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
 
It was the first official meeting between the two nations, with Haiti participating for the third consecutive time and Qatar returning for their second appearance in the tournament.
 
Qatar, the reigning Asian Cup champions, tested Haiti goalkeeper Alexandre Pierre early on with a long-range shot by Bassam Al Rawi in the 11th minute.
 
Yusuf Abdurisag opened the scoring for Qatar in the 20th minute, curling a beautiful shot inside the box after a free kick. Although Pierre initially punched the ball away, Abdurisag was quick to react and scored his second international goal.
 
Haiti had an opportunity to equalize in the 44th minute when they were awarded a penalty due to a handball. Duckens Nazon stepped up and converted the spot-kick, scoring his 28th international goal and his eighth in the Gold Cup. This goal brought him level with renowned players on the all-time scoring chart.
 
In the 52nd minute, Haiti's Derrick Etienne Jr. was unlucky as his shot hit the woodwork after receiving a second opportunity from a cross inside the box. Qatar's goalkeeper Meshaal Barsham made a crucial save in the 64th minute, stopping Ricardo Ade's close-range free kick.
 
However, in stoppage time of the second half, Haiti secured the victory with a breakaway goal. Nazon delivered a cross into the box, and Frantzdy Pierrot outmuscled a defender to redirect the ball into the net, securing the 2-1 win for Haiti.
 
Haiti's next match in Group B will be against Mexico on June 29th at State Farm Stadium, while Qatar will face Honduras at the same venue.
