Overview
- Frantzdy Pierrot scored in the 44th minute and goalkeeper Johnny Placide produced key second‑half saves to secure Haiti’s 1-0 victory in Curaçao.
- Haiti and Honduras are level on eight points, Costa Rica has six, and the final Group C fixtures on Tuesday, Nov. 18, will be played simultaneously.
- Costa Rica must beat Honduras to stay in contention and needs Haiti to drop points against Nicaragua to qualify directly, with a potential intercontinental playoff still dependent on other results.
- After the defeat, Miguel Herrera said he assumes responsibility and indicated any decision on his continuity rests with federation president Osael Maroto following a tense press exchange.
- Costa Rican media and fans called for coaching changes on social networks, and Keylor Navas drew criticism after being filmed leaving the field alone following the loss.
