Guyana suffered their heaviest defeat at the CONCACAF U-17 Championship when they fell hard to eventual Group G winners, Haiti, 6 – 0, when the two met yesterday at the IMG Academy, Bradenton, Florida.

With defeats suffered against El Salvador (4 – 0) and Honduras (3 – 0), the Guyanese unit were hoping for a better performance against the Haitians, but, with the French-speaking Caribbean Island hammering their way through the group, Guyana would’ve had to play an almost perfect game if they were to secure their first win, or, secure their first point in the tournament.

Haiti, who will now play the Dominican Republic in the round-of-16, didn’t spare Guyana, especially in the first half, when they scored five goals; Michael Pierre netted twice (12th and 28th minutes), Captain Kervens Jolicooeur (21st), Kurowskybob Pierre (27th) and Omire Etienne (43rd) all scored.

Coached by Sampson Gilbert, Guyana showed some signs of promise in the second half, but the Haitians were too good, as they scored their sixth goal in the 82nd minute through Thero Rhinvil.

Guyana conceded 13 goals at the championship; the most by any team, while failing to find the net.
