2026 World Cup – CONCACAF Qualifiers (Group C): The Grenadiers Sweep Aruba and Remain in the Lead

Haiti left Aruba no chance this Saturday, winning decisively 5-0 at Trinidad Stadion, as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Full of confidence, Sébastien Migné's men continue their perfect run in Group C and confirm their status as serious contenders for qualification.

Within the first half-hour, the Grenadiers took control of the match with a goal from Danley Jean Jacques (29th minute), quickly followed by a score from Frantzdy Pierrot (35th minute). In the second half, Rubens Providence (61st minute), Duckens Nazon (67th minute), and Mondy Prunier (86th minute) extended the lead, sealing an offensive display.

The Haitian defense was not to be outdone: captain Johny Placide played the savior by deflecting an Aruban penalty, thus keeping his goal inviolate for the third consecutive time.

With this new victory, Haiti now totals 9 points, tied with Curaçao but with a slightly lower goal difference (+8 versus +9). Both teams have already secured their spot in the third phase of the qualifiers, but the upcoming clash between them, this Tuesday, June 10, promises to be decisive for the group's top spot.

The highly anticipated duel between Haiti and Curaçao will be more than just a ranking match. It will be a test of character, intensity, and preparation for the remainder of the qualifying campaign. At stake: the supremacy of Group C, but also crucial momentum heading into the final phases.

The Grenadiers are ready. And with a team in top form, hope is permitted.
