After their victory against Grenada [2-0] https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-28341-icihaiti-tokyo-2020-first-qualifying-round-haiti-win-on-grenada-%5b2-0%5d.html as part of the first round of the FIFA 2020 Olympic Summer Games, our Grenadiers U-23 on the lawn of Georges Town's "Truman BS Complex" qualified for the second round, in their second and final match of Group C, a draw [2-2] against the national selection of the host country, the Cayman Islands.

It was the Cayman Islands that opened the score [0-1] before Peterson Joseph Jr. equalized [1-1]. In a combination with Djimy Bend Alexis in defense, Delentz Fertil-Pierre scored against his own camp restoring the advantage to the Cayman Islands [1-2].

Under pressure and dominated for a good part of the game, our Grenadiers had to wait until the double of Peterson Joseph Junior to find the tie [2-2], score remained unchanged at the end of regulation time allowing our national team to lead the group C to qualify for the second round after a complicated match...

Qualified, our Grenadiers will face soon in their first match of the second round the "Bajan Braves" of Barbados (Group B). A second round or 8 teams will compete to try to obtain one of the 3 tickets giving access to the final phase of the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020.
