The final whistle had barely sounded when many Haitian supporters were still seated in the stands of Nu Stadium, as if they were hoping for extra time to see the Grenadiers overcome the Peruvian team. Peru ultimately secured a 2–1 victory despite having fallen behind and spending a large portion of the match under constant pressure from the Haitians, both on the field and in the stands.

It must be said that everything was Haitian on Friday evening in Inter Miami’s new stadium, home to Lionel Messi. Everything bore the mark of that Creole spirit that follows Haitians wherever they go. The encouragement shouted to the players, the slogans chanted in unison, the spontaneous debates among supporters, and the cries of joy after every dangerous scoring opportunity. Even the advertising boards were Haitian. For nearly two hours, Nu Stadium was transformed into a true “Nu Sylvio-Cator.”
