The Haitian National Women´s Soccer Team played Tuesday May 4th its toughest opponent yet, the Dominican Republic U17 Boys National Team. The Haitian´s coaching staff wanted to challenge the women national team against a stronger, faster, quicker and more skill opponent. Indeed the boys side was all that. So, the game was very balance for most of the time. However after just a few minutes into the game, it was obvious that only one player from the boys side was causing most of the trouble to the Women defense. At barely 5 feet tall and lightning quick, he wore number 17 and played center forward.
Regardless, It was the women side who took the lead on a goal from Beaussicot after 15 minutes of play on a nice header. But 5 minutes later, the #17 of the Dominican Rep national team U17 boys equalized on a one on one against Haiti´s keeper. The first half score was 2-1 in favor of Haiti because just before the pause, Bellevue restored the lead on a pass from Hilaire. In the second half, although the #17 from the boys side scored again to even the score at 2-2, Haiti was the dominante team on the field with a superior fitness and team display. Therefore, after Batard scored the go ahead and winning goal on a solo effort, Haiti could have scored more goals…
Final Haiti National Women´s Soccer Team 3-2 over the Dominican Republic National U17 boys team.
Haiti next game will be against Antigua and Barbuda in Trinidad.
