In a stunning display of football dominance, the United States U-17 Women’s National Team delivered a devastating 9-0 victory against Haiti during the CONCACAF qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco. The match, played on March 19, 2026, at the Costa Rican Football Federation Stadium, showcased the overwhelming gap between the two squads as the Americans systematically dismantled their Caribbean opponents.
The match began ominously for Haiti when defender Kaylee Mallebranche scored an own goal in the 5th minute, setting the tone for what would become a relentless American offensive. The US team’s attacking prowess was on full display as Giselle Aguilar recorded a remarkable hat-trick (25′, 45+1′, 52′), while teammates Grace Murra, Mak Whitham, Loradana Paletta, and Deus Stanislaus (who scored twice) completed the scoring rout. Jordyn Heathcock provided multiple assists, demonstrating exceptional playmaking ability throughout the match.
Haitian coach Marc-Ogil Frenoy Baptiste attempted to shift momentum with strategic substitutions, including bringing in Krystel Châtelain for Mallebranche in the 17th minute and Samira Ductan for Laetitia Decombe at halftime. However, these changes proved insufficient against the American onslaught.
The result leaves Haiti at the bottom of Group B with zero points from two matches, having conceded 12 goals while scoring only one. The United States and Puerto Rico lead the group with perfect records, though the Americans boast a staggering +28 goal difference. Haiti’s final opportunity for redemption comes against Bermuda on March 22, though World Cup qualification is now mathematically impossible.
This performance underscores the developmental challenges facing Caribbean football programs against well-established soccer nations like the United States, which continues to demonstrate its depth of talent in women’s youth football.
