In an intercontinental playoff win over Chile by a score of 2-1 on Wednesday in Auckland, New Zealand, Haiti’s women’s team advanced to the finals for the first time in football history.
Before Chile’s Maria Rojas scored in extra time to reduce the deficit to one goal, Melchie Dumornay had already scored twice for Haiti.
“I’ll keep saying it! I’m overjoyed that I’ve earned a spot in this World Cup.
We created history. We are overjoyed. We are aware of how much the Haitian people value this qualification. We are thrilled to be competing in the World Cup “Melchie Dumornay, a midfielder for Haiti, responded.
At the Women’s World Cup, which will take place in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20, Haiti, ranked 55th in the world, will compete in Group D alongside England, Denmark, and China.
“It was a really amazing match. And it was challenging. The game had many powerful and intense moments as well as some that weren’t at all intense. We were aware that in order to be more powerful, we needed to play close together. We were also aware of the highly skilled and quick players we have on our team. We also understood that the only way we could win was by playing in their territory. And I am extremely pleased that I scored two goals “, Melchie Dumornay declared.
Two of the most recent three World Cup positions were won by Haiti and Portugal.
Lyon, a seven-time Champions League champion, recently acquired Dumornay.
