Reports suggest Ruben Providence, Lenny Joseph, Frantzdy Pierrot and Markhus Lacroix got the goals, which points to a useful spread of threat rather than reliance on one finisher.
That matters in international football. Teams with multiple routes to goal are harder to manage, especially in friendlies where structure can wobble after the first setback. The update also indicates Haiti benefited from strong backing in the stands, turning a U.S.-based fixture into something closer to a home occasion.
For New Zealand, the scoreline appears to expose familiar concerns. The report describes errors around the opening goal and a difficult night for defenders and goalkeepers asked to play under pressure. In a warm-up game, one poor phase can be excused; a one-sided defeat is harder to brush away.
There was at least one sign of attacking intent, with Wood reportedly going close in the first half. But isolated moments are not enough when the defensive platform breaks down.
Wood’s appearance landmark still deserves note. Reaching the top of a national caps list is a mark of durability, status and trust across multiple cycles. Yet records rarely soften a 4-0 loss.
The next storyline is clear: can Haiti carry this sharpness into tougher fixtures, and can New Zealand respond with a cleaner, more stable performance before the pressure rises again?
