This is Haiti’s first Gold Cup win since 2002.  Fabrice Noel’s goal gave the Haiti team a 1 to 0 score at half time. Then on the 78^th minute, James Marcelin added the second, giving Haiti a 2-0 victory over Grenada in CONCACAF Gold Cup group play.

Noel’s goal came off a free kick by Brunel Fucien into a crowd in the middle of the penalty area. Noel deflected it into the net.

Marcelin took a pass from Raymond Ednerson, beat a defender at the top left-hand corner of the penalty area, and then converted his one-on-one chance against goalkeeper Desmond Noel.

 

Celso Borges’ goal in the 64th minute gave Costa Rica a 1-0 win over Jamaica in their CONCACAF Gold Cup match Tuesday night.

Costa Rica is 1-1-0 in Group A and will face Canada on Friday. Jamaica is winless and will have to get past El Salvador on Friday to have any hopes of advancing out of the group stage.

Jamaica played a man down after a midfielder Rudolph Austin was shown a straight red card by referee Jair Marrufo for his tackle against Borges in the 35th minute. Jamaica coach Theodore Whitmore said he would wait to see a replay before commenting, but Costa Rica coach Rodrigo Kenton felt the call was justified.

Still, the Reggae Boyz held their own with 10 men, pressing the attack at the start of the second half before surrendering the decisive goal to Borges.
