Wilson Isidor delivered the decisive moment deep into stoppage time as Haiti began their Concacaf Nations League campaign with a 3-2 victory over Trinidad and Tobago in Jamaica.
The move
The Sunderland forward was heavily involved in Haiti’s attacking play, providing the assists for his side’s first two goals before settling the contest himself in the eighth minute of added time.
His late strike completed a dramatic win for Haiti, who now sit level on three points with Curaçao and the Dominican Republic at the top of Group A.
Curaçao turn a three-goal deficit into victory
Haiti’s comeback was eclipsed by an extraordinary night for Curaçao, who recovered from 3-0 down to beat Costa Rica 4-3 away from home.
Costa Rica appeared in complete control after Orlando Sinclair scored in the third minute and Carlos Mora struck once in the first half before adding another in first-half stoppage time.
Curaçao, appearing at the World Cup for the first time in their history, changed the match after the hour with three substitutes making the difference. Kenji Gorré scored in the 62nd and 78th minutes, while Tahith Chong found the net four minutes after Gorré’s first goal. Jordi Paulina then completed the turnaround in the 83rd minute.
The result leaves Curaçao, Haiti and the Dominican Republic on three points. Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Trinidad and Tobago are yet to register a point.
