Haiti Rout New Zealand 4-0 in Miami Warm-Up — New Zealand Vs Haiti

Haiti beat New Zealand 4-0 in new zealand vs haiti at Inter Miami CF Stadium in Florida, taking control early and finishing with four different scorers. The result came in a World Cup warm-up as Haiti continued preparing for Group C, where Scotland, Morocco and Brazil await.

Providence Starts the Burst

Ruben Providence opened the scoring after 12 minutes, giving Haiti the first clean break in a match they controlled from the start. New Zealand had Chris Wood, Elijah Just and Jesse Randall in the lineup, but Haiti were the team that turned chances into goals.

Lenny Joseph added the second six minutes after the restart, and the cushion was wide enough to let Haiti play through the rest of the game without pressure. That second-half strike stretched the gap before New Zealand could reset.

Pierrot and Lacroix Finish It

Frantzdy Pierrot headed in Haiti’s third after the hour-mark, then Markhus Lacroix added the fourth with a long-range effort late on. Haiti finished with 0 minutes of added time, leaving New Zealand with no way back once the last goal went in.

The margin also sat against the wider World Cup picture. Haiti were described as the lowest ranked nation at this summer’s finals, three below New Zealand, yet they handled a side that included a Premier League striker and still produced a four-goal win in Miami.

Pierre Arrives Too Late

Woodensky Pierre missed the match because his visa was not approved by US authorities until too late, a wrinkle that complicated Haiti’s build-up before the opener against Scotland on 14 June in Boston. He landed at Miami airport around half-time with Haitian soccer officials and hoped to catch the last part of the game.

For Haiti, the scoreline offered a strong final run before Group C begins, with Scotland first and Morocco and Brazil still to come. For New Zealand, the friendly exposed a gap they could not close against a side that made every early chance count.
