MATCH PREVIEW:
Haiti began their campaign with a 1-0 loss against hosts, U.S.A with Vines’ first half-goal making all the difference.
The Caribbean side made a good match of it but lacked the killer finishing in the final third and succumbed.
With only 2 more matches left in the group stage, a victory is very important if Haiti looks to qualify.
On the other hand, Canada kick started their campaign in style with a 4-1 rout of Martinique as Larin, Osorio, Eustaquio and Corbeanu scoring the decisive goals.
Riviere scored one for Martinique but it was a mere consolation by the end of full time.
