The numbers
The shot count was 8 for Dominican Republic and 8 for Haiti. Of those attempts, 4 from Dominican Republic and 6 from Haiti were on target. The sides had 49% and 51% possession, respectively, while the corner totals were 3 for Dominican Republic and 4 for Haiti.
Those figures put the score in context without changing the basic account of the result: Haiti scored four goals, while Dominican Republic scored one goal. The shot totals were level, but the on-target counts were not. Possession was also close, and the corner figures remained within a single corner of each other. The save totals were 4 for Dominican Republic and 3 for Haiti, another measure of the work required from both goalkeepers. Taken together, the match data show that both teams recorded attempts and created on-target efforts, while the final score favoured Haiti by a clear margin. The half-time score had Haiti ahead, and the final score extended that advantage. There is no need to read the possession share as a measure of the result: Haiti left with the win, and the scoreline records the decisive difference in goals.
