Israel-based forward Frantzdy Pierrot celebrates his goal on Sunday.
With the game seemingly headed for a stalemate at the NRG Stadium, the 28-yearold Pierrot, who plays for Maccabi Haifa in the Israeli Premier League, poked home from close range in the sev- enth of nine added minutes, to hand Haiti a sensational opening win in Group B. In the other fixture in the group at the same venue, powerhouses Mexico thrashed Honduras 4-0 with Luis Romo scoring twice in the first half.
Both sides had chances before Qatar went ahead. Goalkeeper Alexandre Pierre came out and cleared from the feet of Mostafa Mashal but a loose ball resulted and Abdurisag pounced to volley into an empty net from 15 yards.
