From the start of the match, both countries, Haiti and Iceland, went on the attack against the opposing goal. Indeed, Icelandic forward Sigurdsson (5th minute) did not hit the target, the same for Wilson Isidor (8th minute) whose instant shot went over the crossbar.
Soon after, Jean-Kévin Duverne (12th minute) was booked for a foul on Dollarson. Ingasson (15th minute) could not direct his header on target. Leverton Pierre (25th minute), hit in the face by an Icelandic defender, before leaving his place for Woodensky Pierre (36th minute), gave a good free kick to Jean-Ricner Bellegarde whose shot went wide.
The Grenadiers took control of the match at times, creating two big scoring chances. Served by Duckens Nazon, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (40th minute) fired a powerful shot that went just wide. Four minutes later, on an action by Duckens Nazon, the Grenadiers claimed a penalty for a handball, but the referee decided otherwise.
