The descendants of Fidel Castro, who swept everything in their path in Group B, have sent a clear signal to the Haitian defense after 4 matches have conceded only one goal. This means that the final Haiti-Cuba Sunday 25 September at Ato Bolton Stadium (Panama), will be a match without thank you for the supremacy of the Caribbean region to 7:30 p.m. local (6:30 in Haiti).
