Friday February 16, 2024, as part of the preparation for the championship of the Confederation of North, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF), counting for the qualifiers for the Chile 2025 World Cup, our Grenadiers U-20 in Saint Kitts and Navis, played a second friendly match this time against the local defending champion club, "Village Super Star".

Coach Angelo Jean-Baptiste wants to take the opportunity to establish his playing system and also rotate his squad of 24 players, which must increase to 21, before the start of the competition.

This match ended in a draw [1-1].

In the first period Village Super Star opened the scoring in the 25' [0-1] and it was not until the 70' that Esaie Louis equalized Haiti with an acrobatic recovery from a cross from Jordy Monclair. [1-1].

Let's remember that the previous friendly match against "Canaree FC" (D1) also ended on Wednesday with a draw [2-2] https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-41683-haiti-world-cup-chile-2025-qualifiers-our-grenadiers-u-20-continue-to-prepare.html

For coach Angelo Jean-Baptiste, it was a fairly "engaged" match where the players of "Village Super Star" offered fierce opposition to the Grenadiers. Still according to coach Angelo, now the Group will go from 24 to 21 players while the rest of the camp will be devoted to cohesion in the game.
