Sunday, within the framework of the preparation of Grenadiers to the 12th Gold Cup, to be held in the USA, from 7 to 28 July, the Grenadiers, who faced the Quisqueyanos [trained by Cuban Domingo Hernandez] at the Estadio Panamericano in San Cristoba Dominican Republic, have undergone for the first time in their history a defeat against the Dominicans (3-1), despite the presence of many Haitian supporters in the stands.

Since its qualification in December 2012 for the Gold Cup, the Grenadiers were unable to win one of four test matches including the one played Sunday [Haiti-Chili on January 19 (3-0), Haiti-Bolivia on February 6 (2-1), Haiti-Oman on March 20 (3-0)]

The Dominicans, who in 13 games against Haiti had never be done better than 2 draws for 11 defeats on Sunday took their revenge against the Grenadiers in search of an identity, driven by the Israel Blake Cantero.

In the first half, to everyone's surprise, the Grenadiers have conceded 2 goals [Kerbi Rodriguez and Jonathan Fana], at halftime, the score was unchanged (2-0).

After the break, the Dominicans have scored a third goal [Mariano Diaz] (3-0), despite a dominating match of Grenadiers, that have to wait until the end of the second period to save their honor by registering 1 goal [Hérold Junior Charles] against Quisqueyanos.

Following this meeting, Luckner Horat Junior (Black Eagle AC) declared "We made three defensive errors and Dominicans have took the opportunity to register 3 goals. For the rest, we were dominating but unfortunately we were not able to realize our actions."
