Haiti rallies past Canada in Gold Cup
Second half rallies have become the norm for a Haitian team that made history by winning its Gold Cup group for the first time in the nation's history.
On Saturday, the team made history again by scoring three second half goals to overcome a two-score halftime deficit to defeat Canada 3-2 at NRG Stadium. Haiti will face either Mexico or Costa Rica after qualifying for its first-ever semifinal.
"That's one of our specialties," coach Marc Collat said of the comeback. "The players have certain qualities and they know that as long as the match is going before the final whistle they have to fight."
