Haiti aims to close Nations League window in winning fashion
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (CMC) — A June double window of matches in the Concacaf Nations League B closes on Tuesday night with two matches that will go a long way toward deciding which teams are playing in League A in the next tournament, who goes to the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup and who will be relegated.
One of those matches scheduled in Group B sees Haiti sit atop the table with seven points.
They will meet Guyana at the Estadio Olimpico Felix Sanchez here just days after an eventful 6-2 win for Haiti that saw the teams go into the half-time break with the score 4-2. The result extended Haiti’s undefeated all-time record against Guyana.
While fans may be hoping for the same fireworks, Haiti Manager Jean-Jacques Pierre and his Guyana counterpart Jamaal Shabazz would be content with any scoreline that ends with three points and the group lead ahead of the next match date.
Steeven Saba and Carnejy Antoine have scored in each of the last two games after opening the competition with a scoreless draw with Bermuda.
Tuesday also brings the final group match in the June window in Group D. French Guiana puts its undefeated mark on the line against Belize at the Stade Municipal Edmard Lama.
Belize had a late advantage in the team’s meeting earlier in the window, but French Guiana FW Joel Sarrucco continued his hot streak, scoring in a third straight CNL match.
