Summary : The Grenadiers won the island derby and inflicted the Dominican Republic's first and heavy defeat in this Nations League, winning convincingly [4-1] in a packed stadium amidst an atmosphere of ecstatic fans.

The Grenadiers opened the scoring in the 9th minute with a goal from Louicius Deedson, assisted by Ruben Providence [1-0], in a match that began largely in Haiti's favor.

In the 51st minute, Wilson Isidor, well-positioned in the box, capitalized on a poorly cleared free kick to head home Haiti's second goal [2-0].

Dorny Romero took advantage of Carl Fred Sainté's poor control of the ball to pull one back for the Quisqueyanos in the 55th minute with a left-footed shot inside the box [2-1], giving hope to the thousands of Dominican fans.

That hope was short-lived, however, as in the 67th minute, Wilson Isidor scored his second goal, Haiti's third [3-1].

The final goal of the match was a header by Yassin Fortuné in the 77th minute.
