U.S. draws Haiti 2-2, wins Gold Cup first-round group

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - The United States had just two minutes left to avoid its first loss ever in CONCACAF Gold Cup group play.

Haiti was heading for its first win over an American team by since May 1969, when it won 1-0 in San Diego.

CONCACAF Gold Cup

Then Stuart Holden stepped up.

The Houston Dynamo midfielder sent a 25-foot shot past goalkeeper Jean Dominique Zephirin into the upper right corner in the first minute of second-half injury time, giving the United States a 2-2 tie Saturday night in its final first-round game.

"We were pushing the whole second half," said Holden, who also assisted on Davy Arnaud's goal in the sixth minute. "We kept knocking on the door and the chance fell to me."

The Americans, seeking their third straight title in the championship of North and Central America and the Caribbean, finished first in Group B and will play El Salvador or the third-place team in Group C next Saturday in Philadelphia. The United States (2-0-1), which already had clinched advancement, improved to 23-0-2 in Gold Cup group play.

The United States once again started a young lineup, with goalkeeper Luis Robles, and midfielders Sam Cronin and Colin Clark making their first international appearances. So did 32-year-old defender Jay Heaps, a member of the New England Revolution and veteran of 301 MLS games.

Six of the starting 11 made their first national team starts, with those four joined by forward Arnaud and defender Brad Evans.

"The experience of today will be something that they can draw from" the rest of the tournament, U.S. coach Bob Bradley said. "You use these three games to gain experience. You use these three games to get confident. We use some of the things that happened today as reminders."

Haiti (1-1-1) finished third in the group round and also advanced. The two best of the three third-place teams move on.

Haiti had taken the lead with goals in the first four minutes of the second half by Sirin Vaniel and Mones Chery.

"What an irony," Haiti coach Jairo Rios said. "The poorest country in the world against what could be considered the superpower of the world and they (the Haitians) could be able to hold themselves on the field, demonstrating the real passion for the game from the players."

Holden set up the first goal with a short pass to Arnaud, who gathered it in at the top of the penalty area, to the left of defender Frantz Bertin. Arnaud then rolled a soft shot with his left foot to the right of Zephirin, who came out of the net to try and cut down the angle.

"Goals give anybody confidence," said Arnaud, who plays for the Kansas City Wizards. "It was a good start, but more importantly, I'm part of the group now."

The United States controlled play for the first 40 minutes before Haiti became more aggressive.

"Before the tournament started everybody thought that we were just going to come and make a fool out of ourselves," Rios said.


Haiti nearly tied the game in injury time at the end of the first half. A crossing pass from the left side eluded Fabrice Noel just in front of Robles. But the ball continued on to Vaniel, who fired a shot that Robles managed to kick out with his knee.

Vaniel got it back but shot the ball off the outside of the net.

The Haitians didn't miss their next two big chances.

In the first minute of the second half, Leonel Saint Preaux sent a crossing pass from near the right corner that soared over the outstretched right hand of Robles. Vaniel got to it before it hit the ground and headed it into the net.

A poor judgment play by Robles led to the next goal. He left his net to try and get to a ball to his left. Before he reached it, the ball was passed out to Chery. Robles raced back to get in position, but Chery sent a 25-foot shot into the upper left corner as the goalkeeper was still running in that direction.

Trailing, the U.S. inserted Charlie Davies in the 73rd minute and Brian Ching in the 76th.

"When you begin the tournament, the goal is to win your group and advance," Bradley said. "So the first thing that we said after the game is, 'We've accomplished that goal."'

Noel, Marcelin lead Haiti over Grenada - Haiti 2 - 0 Grenada

WASHINGTON -- Fabrice Noel scored in the 14th minute and James Marcelin added a goal in the 78th, giving Haiti a 2-0 victory over Grenada in CONCACAF Gold Cup group play.

The win was Haiti's first in the Gold Cup since 2002. Haiti is 1-1 in Group B going into Saturday's game against the United States in Foxborough, Mass. Grenada is the group's lone winless team going into Saturday's game against Honduras, also in Foxborough.

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.

One of Grenada's best scoring chances came in the 39th minute, when Delroy Facey took a cross and had a wide-open shot on the left side of the net, but put the ball high over the crossbar.

7/4/2009 - By Andrew Winner

SEATTLE -- Carlo Costly headed home a free kick in the 76th minute to give Honduras a 1-0 victory over Haiti in the Group B opener of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. 

Despite controlling possession for a large portion of the game, Haiti conceded a needless free kick in the corner, which led to the game-winning goal. 

Haitian substitute Markdrel Sampeur challenged Marvin Chavez near the corner flag as he ran away from the goal, drawing the referee's whistle. On the ensuing restart, striker Carlo Costly beat James Marcelin to the cross and headed inside the far post.

"The match was very tight. There were chances for both sides," Honduras coach Reynaldo Rueda said. "It's important to start winning, and today Honduras won."

It was a tough blow for Haiti, which had the majority of the chances. 

"We saw (our) team playing very well tactically but with the set pieces it was very poor," said Haiti coach Jairo Rios through a translator, saying that he believed a tie would have been a fair result. "I don't think we needed to have conceded that foul but it happened." 

Both teams had opportunities early, but neither seriously threatened. Perhaps the best chance came from a low cross by right back Sirin Vaniel, but none of the Haitian attackers were able to beat Honduran goalkeeper Jean Zephirin to the ball. 

Haiti looked more active and energetic in the first half, moving the ball with relative ease and committing players forward. Fabrice Noel led Haiti's attack, causing problems with his speed. He had one of the better chances of the half, lashing a shot wide of the near post from distance. 

Outside backs Frantz Gilles and Vaniel made several runs forward as the Haitian defense looked in control in the first 35 minutes of the game. 

The final 10 minutes of the half, however, belonged to Honduras.

In the 38th minute, Honduras finally got their first real chance. Carlos Martinez collected a cross at the far post and launched a knuckling drive from a tough angle that Zephrin blocked at the near post with his legs. 

Martinez, who directed much of the Honduran offense, led a counterattack a couple minutes later but failed to connect on the final pass to Costly. 

Honduras looked dangerous to take the lead before halftime, with defender Nery Medina's blast from 35 yards parried over the bar by Zephirin.

With the United States playing the second match of the doubleheader, the crowd started to fill in during the second half. The fans watched Haiti maintain pressure in the second half. 

Leonel Saint Preux forced a save at the far post from Honduran keeper Donis Escober with a strike from distance. Neol and Saint Preux combined nicely for Haiti as the underdog continued to test the favored Hondurans. 

The pace of the match slowed as the second half approached the midpoint and neither team looked threatening. Haiti had a penalty appeal turned down a few minutes later while Saint Preux controlled and shot into Escober's midsection. 

Then came Costly's goal, which deflated Haiti. 

Honduras had two excellent chances to double the lead, but Pierre Richard Bruny saved a ball off the line for Haiti after George Welcome had beaten an onrushing Zephirin with a lofted shot. Honduras granted Haiti another reprieve minutes later as Costly had a promising breakaway but failed to control the ball. 

Both teams are back in action in four days. Honduras plays the United States in Washington on Wednesday, while Haiti will hope to rebound against Grenada. In the post-match press conference, the Miller Lite Player of the Match Costly said he thinks his team can advance. 

"We want to win more and hopefully we will be able to," Costly said. "The team is always pushing to go forward."

On the other side, Haiti's Rios liked what he saw from his team despite the loss. 

"We are progressing and implementing our proposed plan," Rios said. "In the next game we probably have a better result."
