Canada upset by Haiti, fails to advance to FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup
COUVA, Trinidad — Canada has failed to qualify for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, upset 1-0 by Haiti in the third-place game Sunday at the CONCACAF Women’s Under-20 Championship.
Sherly Jeudy scored in the 18th minute with a high shot that beat goalkeeper Rylee Foster after a Nerilia Mondesir through ball split the Canadian defence.
It marks the first time Haiti has qualified for the U-20 World Cup.
“We faced a really competitive Haiti team who played very direct football, and under the conditions we struggled with that,” said Canadian head coach Bev Priestman.
