In a dominant display, Haiti defeated New Zealand 4-0 during their FIFA World Cup warm-up match at Inter Miami CF Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The match, held on June 2, 2026, saw Haiti take control early with Ruben Providence scoring in the 12th minute. Lenny Joseph doubled the lead shortly after halftime, followed by Frantzdy Pierrot's header in the 62nd minute. Markhus Lacroix capped off the scoring with a powerful shot in the 87th minute, much to the delight of the Haitian supporters. New Zealand, despite Chris Wood's milestone as the most-capped player for his country, struggled defensively, allowing four goals and failing to convert their chances. The All Whites' goalkeeper situation was subpar, with both Alex Paulsen and Max Crocombe unable to prevent the onslaught. The match was marred for Haiti by visa issues affecting midfielder Woodensky Pierre, who arrived late and missed the majority of the game.
