Even by Concacaf standards, this is a new one.
Haiti's U-23 men's national team was forced to start with 10 men and a field player in goal for its Olympic qualifying opener against Honduras in Mexico on Friday due to a late-arriving segment of its delegation that couldn't be tested for COVID-19 in time to be cleared.
That left defender Odilon Jerome in goal and his teammates a man down from the opening whistle while playing in the heat and altitude of Guadalajara. On the plus side, none of the delegation's tests that were able to be conducted on time came back positive, and Haiti, in the 22nd minute, was able to introduce its actual goalkeeper, Alan Jerome, whose negative test reportedly registered after play had started.
