The DR’s national selection soccer team plays tonight the most crucial game of the elimination round for the Caribbean Cup. Tonight at 7 pm in Port-au-Prince’s National Stadium the Dominican team faces off against the host Haitian team. Haiti is favored to win the elimination round and be the team that goes to the Cup in Trinidad and Tobago starting on June 12th. Haiti beat Puerto Rico decisively 3-0 on Wednesday, while the DR only managed a scoreless tie with the British Virgin Islands (0-0). The DR selection plays the Puerto Rican team on Sunday at 5 pm. The DR must score tonight in order to stay in the running, and it must hold down Haiti’s scoring to keep it from gaining too large a point lead in the standings. As it now sits, Haiti has three points, the DR and VI one apiece, and PR none. The stadium is expected to be packed for tonight’s match.
