Costa Rica and Haiti drew 3–3 in a World Cup qualifier that saw the hosts squander territorial dominance, firing 24 shots with 11 on target yet conceding at the same rate as they scored. Costa Rica's five-at-the-back setup offered defensive solidity on paper, but their goalkeeper's 72.73% save percentage and zero goals saved above expected value underscored a porous backline; Haiti's 4–2–3–1 proved compact and clinical, converting eight of their 11 shots into a credible away performance. The visitors' efficiency—managing just 11 attempts to Costa Rica's 24—highlighted their clinical finishing and the home side's profligacy in front of goal. This stalemate leaves both teams' qualifying hopes in flux, with Costa Rica unable to capitalise on home advantage and Haiti proving a genuine threat in Group C.
