LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Louisville's Nadege L'Esperance and Team Canada failed to qualify for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, upset 1-0 by Haiti in the third-place game on Sunday at the CONCACAF Women's Under-20 Championship.
Sherly Jeudy scored in the 18th minute with a high shot that beat goalkeeper Rylee Foster after a Haiti through ball split the Canadian defense.
It marks the first time Haiti has qualified for the U-20 World Cup.
Canada had made it to six of the seven previous editions of the U-20 World Cup, hosting the event in 2002 and 2014. Its best showing was in 2002 when it was runner-up to the U.S., losing the final 1-0 after extra time.
