19/08/02 - Two goals each from Marc Herold Gracien and Brunel Fucien led Haiti to a 4:0 halftime advantage as they rolled to a 5:0 victory against St. Kitts & Nevis in the deciding match in Group C of Caribbean Zone qualifying for the FC U-20 Youth Tournament.

The France-based Gracien hit in the seventh and 26th minutes, while Fucien added to his four-goal haul in Haiti's opening match with goals in the 39th and 43rd minutes to put the match out of reach much to the dismay of the large crowd at Warner Park in Basseterre. Wadson Corriolan scored Haiti's fifth nine minutes from full time.

The teams had come into the match finely poised after each knocked off Bahamas by seven-goal margins to begin the tournament, Haiti winning 8:1 two days after the hosts won by a 7:0 scoreline.

Haiti now advances to a home-and-home series with the winner of Caribbean Zone Group B, the winner of that tie moving onto the FC's Group B final tournament in the USA from 13-17 November 2002. The zonal opponent will be decided from 28 August - 1 September on Cayman Islands, the three-team round-robin matching Jamaica (favorite to win this group), Puerto Rico and the host country.
