Thursday, as part of the 3rd Phase of the qualifying competition for the 6th edition of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, Uruguay 2018, which is played in Nicaragua from April 19 to 29, 2018 to represent the Confederation of America from North, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF) to the next U-17 World (13 November - 1 December 2018) Haiti, (Caribbean champion) https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-22481-haiti-flash-our-grenadieres-win-the-2017-caribbean-cup.html defeated Puerto Rico at the opening match [4-1] on the pitch at the National Stadium in Managua.

Let's remember that in this third eliminatory phase, Haiti in Group A has as opponent Puerto Rico, Nicaragua and Mexico.

Despite the fact that the former coach of the Grenadières, the Polish-born American Shek Borkowsky who has since been in the service of the Puerto Ricans, who knows well our players and who has strengthened her team accordingly, our Grenadières have largely imposed themselves, leaving no chance for the Puerto Ricans by keeping them under pressure, which have narrowly saved their honor.

In the first half Fiero Dina Surpris opens the scoring at 25 '[1-0] for Haiti followed by Melchie Daelle Dumornay's second goal 40' [2-0]

After the break, Haiti kept up the pressure and Fiero Dina Surpris scored twice at 56' [3-0]. Isabel Cacho reduced the score by scoring a goal for Puerto Rico at 68' [3-1]. Stimulated by this goal, Fiero Dina Surpris will score his hat-trick by a new goal at 81' [4-1].

With this victory, our Grenadières make a good entry into the competition and are in a good position to face their next opponent.
