CFU 4-team final

PARAMARIBO, Suriname, Nov 12, (CANA):

HAITI clipped Trinidad and Tobago 1-0 in a keen match to open their account for a second Caribbean Football Union's (CFU) Championship in Paramaribo yesterday.

In a match in which the teams failed to capitalise on several chances, the Haitian goalkeeper Michael Maurice thrilled an estimated 5,000 spectators with a splendid performance.
