U-20 qualifiers: Corventina sends Haiti to the semifinals
The Haitian football selection won 3-0 over Guyana Wednesday afternoon at the Panamericano stadium in San Cristóbal in Dominican Republic to advance to the semifinals.
With an Annesa O’Brien goal in a big day, the Guyanese resisted against the assaults of the Haitians, but ended up cracking with a patient Haitian team who never stopped multiplying the attacks by exploiting the wings with especially Abaina Louis, sharp and provocative.
