Scotland’s World Cup opponents Haiti warmed up for the sides’ opener by thumping New Zealand in Florida.<\/b><\/p>\n

Steve Clarke’s side will play Haiti on 14 June in Boston in Group C, before facing Morocco and Brazil.<\/p>\n

Haiti dominated a New Zealand side which contained Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood, Motherwell’s Elijah Just, and new Dundee United signing Jesse Randall, but is the lowest ranked nation at this summer’s finals, sitting three below their opponents.<\/p>\n

Ruben Providence struck after 12 minutes at Inter Miami CF Stadium and substitute Lenny Joseph doubled the lead for the Caribbean nation six minutes after the restart.<\/p>\n

Frantzdy Pierrot grabbed a third with a header after the hour-mark before Markhus Lacroix finished the \u200bjob with a long-range effort late on.<\/p>\n

Haiti’s build-up to the match had been complicated by visa trouble for midfielder Woodensky Pierre, the squad’s only player based in the Caribbean nation.<\/p>\n

Pierre was unable to play against New Zealand because his visa was not approved by US authorities until too late.<\/p>\n

He landed at Miami airport around half-time with Haitian soccer officials and hoped to catch the last part of the game, a spokesperson told news agency Reuters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
