The Concacaf match report said, “Frantzdy Pierrot notched a first half hat-trick to help power Haiti to a 4-1 victory over Bermuda in the Second Round of the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup Prelims on Tuesday at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

“With the result, Haiti have qualified for the 2021 Gold Cup group stage, slotting into Group B where they will face the United States, Canada and Martinique.

“With his hat trick, Pierrot now has five goals versus Bermuda in just two Gold Cup matches, after having scored both Haiti goals in their 2-1 win in the 2019 group stage.

“Pierrot broke the deadlock in the 23’ when he received a pass from Duckens Nazon, rounded Bermuda GK Dale Eve and slotted into net for a 1-0 Haiti lead.
