Nothing was easy in the dams counting for the opening series of the Haitian Championship of Professional Football (CHFP) as evidenced by the very close results of the first leg matches where none of the 4 teams could score any goal or take the lead [0-0 and 0-0]. It was only in the second leg that Tempête FC against Don-Bosco of Pétion-ville (DBPV) took over [2-1] at Antoine Levelt Park on May 26th. It was "Dumy Fédé" who was the executioner of Petion-vllois with his double (26th and 37th minutes) Elivens Jean reduced the gap [2-1] in the second period, without having ever been able to restore balance on the blackboard until the final whistle.

The other scheduled meeting at Parc Saint Yves (Arcahaie) Arcahaie FC against Racing FC (Gonaïves) was canceled due to a completely wet surface and postponed to May 27th. The Archelois could not do better than a draw [0-0] at the end of the 90 minutes of regulation time against the Gonaïviens who finally lost in the first period of extra time at 4', on a shot by Clifford Thomas [1-0].
