Haiti vs. Jamaica: Caribbean neighbors face off for semifinal berth

CONCACAF Gold Cup surprise package Haiti takes on Caribbean neighbors Jamaica in Baltimore for a historic semifinal berth.

Haiti can progress to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup for the first time in its history when it takes on Jamaica in Saturday's quarterfinal.

Marc Collat's men earned a surprising 1-0 win over Honduras in its final group game on Monday, a result that – combined with hosts and defending champions United States' 1-1 draw with Panama – proved to be enough for Haiti to progress to the last eight.

That win came after midfielder Jeff Louis and center back Jean Jacques Pierre left the squad due to disagreements with the management, but midfielder James Marcelin insists the team remains united.
