MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - Jean Maurice scored twice to lead Haiti to a 2-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago in a group-stage match of the CONCACAF Gold Cup Friday night.
The three points from the win temporarily lifted the Haitians to the top of Group B, though Honduras played El Salvador later Friday. Haiti lost to Honduras on Sunday.
Haiti's speed on both wings resulted in repeated runs on goal in the first of two-matches Friday at Sun Life Stadium. Maurice's goal 16 minutes into the match gave Haiti a 1-0 lead as his shot near the 6-yard box beat Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper Jan Williams.
Maurice scored his second goal in the 52nd minute, when he retrieved a loose ball off Yves Desmaret's crossing pass and converted a shot into an open net.
Densil Theobald's header bounced off the left post in the 46th for Trinidad and Tobago's best scoring opportunity of the game.
