A match which started well with the opening score for Haiti by Deedson Louicius in the 12th minute [1-0] followed by a double 3 minutes later [2-0]. With these 2 goals in the first period, the Grenadiers were confident and saw themselves on the path to victory. At halftime the score was unchanged [2-0] in favor of Haiti.

Returning from the locker room the "Reggae Boyz" took control of the game forcing the Grenadiers on their defense line. Bad luck befell Haiti, Ricardo Adé scored against his own side in the 51' [2-1] before commit a foul allowing Jamaica to benefit from a penalty, converted by Bobby Reid in the 82' [2-2]. Johnny Placide had a lot to do to prevent the repeated attacks of the "Reggae Boyz" from shaking the Haitian nets...
