Haiti hang on to win their opening game against Martinique in Digicel Caribbean Cup Finals

Haiti defend well to produce hard fought one nil victory over Martinique


Posted on January 13, 2007


Friday, January 12, 2007 – Hasely Crawford Stadium, Trinidad: Haiti opened their Digicel Caribbean Cup Finals tournament with a 1-0 win over the French West Indies side Martinique after a hard fought 90 minutes in the Hasley Crawford stadium.


Haiti opened the brighter of the two sides and with Guillame Stephane and Mones Chery combining well for Haiti posed the greater threat. In fact it was the same two players who combined to set Brunel Fucien through on goal in the 12th minute. The pacey striker was coolness personified when he neatly lifted the ball over the onrushing Martinique keeper Eddie Heurlie and had the easiest of tasks to simply poke home the ball into an empty net.


Haiti showed real purpose as they did not sit on their lead and took the game to Martinique. They were unfortunate again in fact in the 38th minute when captain Richard Bruny saw his well timed shot fly past the wrong side of the post.


Martinique showed more purpose and intent in the second half and came close to the elusive equalizer on 62 minutes when Patrick Percin combined well with Steve Gustan to set up Audrick Linord who went so close with a right footed effort that seemed destined to hit the back of the Haiti net.


Martinique were further aggrieved when their striker Franciano Etinof was brought down by Haitian keeper Fenelon Gabard when straight through on gosl. However referee Courtney Campbell only produce the yellow card for the lucky Haitian.


This was to prove vital as from the ensuing free kick Gabard made a wonderful save from Gustan’s fine effort that forced the Haitian net minder into a fine one handed save.


Try as they might Martinique could simply find no way past a stalwart Haitian defense that simply refused to be broken and in the 92nd minute it took a last minute diving tackle from Haitian captain and Motorola Man of the match Bruny to keep Martinique scoreless amd ensure the Haitian’s go top of the Sedley Joseph group after one days play.


Haiti: Gabard Fenelon, Frantz Gilles, Peter Jermaine, Stephane Guillaume, Fucien Brunel, Eliphene Cadet, Alexandre Boucicaut, Pierre Richard Bruny, Mones Chery, Alain Vubert, Josue Mayard


Martinique: Eddy Heurlie, Patrick Percin, Joan Deluge, Sebastien Lugiery, Gael Germany, Wilfrid Thalien, Jose Goron, Charles Coridon, Franciano Etinon, Steve Gustan, Audrick Linord

Percin is the dude who will most likely score for his team. Martinique is fit and can play 90+ minutes of high level football. TnT will have to fix whatever flaws its has in the back to beat Martinique.

You know what I mean  ::) Its not because its not within the FIFA Calender hence the big name players haven't been released by their clubs.
Btw that list was unless especially without a source  :)
