Dumornay Shines, Quetant and Louicius Score: Haitian Players Stand Out in Europe and the Americas

Haitian players made their mark on Saturday, October 17. Several Grenadiers and Grenadières left their imprint on the day the nation commemorates the death of its founding father.

In Germany, Kenny Quetant scored his first goal for Werder Bremen’s reserve team. Despite the strike from the player, who earned his first caps for the national team during the last international break, Werder lost 3-2 to Jeddeloh.

In the United States, Fafa Picault scored Atlanta United’s only goal from the penalty spot in a 3-1 loss to his former club, Inter Miami, inspired by Lionel Messi at his best. Danley Jean Jacques, meanwhile, provided an assist in Philadelphia Union’s 2-2 draw with Charlotte FC.

On the women’s side, Melchie Dumornay struck again for OL Lyonnes. Opening the scoring against Paris Saint-Germain in the 3rd minute, Corventina set Lyon on course for an emphatic 4-0 win. The Haitian star also notched her ninth career goal against the Paris club.

In Turkey’s second division, Ruben Providence came off the bench to rescue FK Bodrum. His two assists helped his side come from behind to win 2-1.

In France’s Ligue 2, Don Deedson Louicius opened his account for Sochaux. His late goal could not prevent a 3-2 defeat to Metz, but it brought the Grenadiers winger to the symbolic milestone of 50 goals in professional football.
