A cold shower for Haitian women’s football. Facing Japan on Friday at Stade Bauer in Saint-Ouen, Haiti’s women’s team lost 5-1 in a friendly. It was a heavy defeat for the Grenadières as they prepare for the final phase of qualifying for the next World Cup.
Showing major defensive weaknesses, Pia Sundhage’s side paid the price against Japan’s attacks. The 2011 world champions built a commanding lead in the first half, going up 3-0 before Batcheba Louis (45+2′) stemmed the tide.
After the break, the Asian side’s masterclass continued. Controlling the tempo and the ball, Japan added two more goals against a Haitian team that lacked tactical cohesion.
To wrap up the training camp, Haiti will face Australia on October 13 at Stade Walter-Luzi in Chambly.
