An early goal from Louicius Deedson, a second-half double from Wilson Isidor and a late strike from Yassin Fortuné gave the Grenadiers a convincing victory.

Haiti defeated the Dominican Republic 4–1 on Thursday, October 1, in Concacaf Nations League, League A, Group A. In a matchup that carries extra meaning for supporters on both sides of the island, the Grenadiers delivered their answer through four goals and a decisive second-half response.

Wilson Isidor led the scoring with two goals, while Louicius Deedson opened the scoring and Yassin Fortuné completed Haiti’s tally. Dorny Romero scored the Dominican Republic’s only goal.

Deedson put Haiti ahead in the ninth minute. His early breakthrough gave the Grenadiers a lead they would never surrender. With no further goals recorded before the interval, Haiti went into halftime ahead 1–0.

The match’s scoring accelerated after the break. Isidor struck in the 51st minute to double Haiti’s advantage, giving the visitors a 2–0 lead and putting the Dominican Republic under greater pressure to respond.

That response arrived just four minutes later. Romero scored in the 55th minute, reducing the deficit to 2–1. Suddenly, a match that had been moving toward a comfortable Haitian victory was back within one goal.

For Haiti, that was the crucial test. A narrow lead offered the Dominican Republic a route back into the contest. The next goal would either restore Haiti’s two-goal cushion or bring the teams level.

Isidor supplied the answer in the 67th minute. His second goal made it 3–1, undoing the immediate damage from Romero’s strike and giving the Grenadiers breathing room again. On the goal timeline, this was the decisive turning point: Haiti responded to conceding by extending its lead.

Fortuné then added the fourth in the 76th minute. His goal took the score to 4–1, leaving the Dominican Republic with a three-goal deficit entering the closing stretch. Haiti had scored three times in 25 second-half minutes.

Isidor’s double made him the standout contributor to the scoreline. But the victory also featured three different Haitian scorers, with Deedson establishing the advantage and Fortuné putting the result beyond reasonable reach.

The most encouraging feature of the result was Haiti’s response at 2–1. Rather than allowing the Dominican goal to define the remainder of the match, the Grenadiers scored twice more. That sequence turned a potentially tense finish into a clear victory.

For Haitian supporters, the rivalry adds emotion to the celebration. The sporting achievement is clear on its own: four goals, a lead held from the ninth minute and three points earned in League A. The challenge now is to carry that effectiveness into the next match.
