After giving up a heartbreaking goal in the 60th minute of their first-ever Copa America match, Haiti fell to Peru 1-0 last Saturday. Sporting KC’s Soni Mustivar did not feature. Today, Haiti aims to overcome powerhouse Brazil to maintain a chance at advancing beyond the group stage of the tournament. The Group B matchup will air at 6:30 p.m. CT on FS1 and Univision.
It’s no secret that Haiti enters tonight’s match as the underdogs, with the Caribbean team ranked 74th compared to Brazil’s 7th. And Brazil is no stranger to the tournament, having participated since its inception in 1916, while the 2016 Centenario marks the first time Haiti has qualified for the competition in its history.
