The CONCACAF Gold Cup match between Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti on June 19, 2025, saw a significant moment in the first half when Haiti's Jean-Kevin Duverne received a red card. The incident occurred in the 39th minute when Duverne made a dangerous tackle on an opponent. The referee wasted no time in issuing the red card, and Duverne did not protest the decision.

This was a blow to Haiti, who were already looking to bounce back from a previous defeat to Saudi Arabia in the tournament. Playing with ten men for the majority of the match significantly hampered their chances against Trinidad and Tobago.

Jean-Kevin Duverne, born on July 12, 1997, is a professional footballer who primarily plays as a right-back. Born in France, he represents the Haiti national team. At the club level, he is currently on loan at Belgian Pro League club Kortrijk from Nantes. Duverne began his senior career with Lens in 2016 and has also played for Brest. He made his debut for the Haiti national team in June 2024, scoring in a 2–1 win over Saint Luca.

Prior to the match, both Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti were aiming for their first win in the 2025 Gold Cup. Trinidad and Tobago were looking to recover from a heavy defeat to the United States. A victory for either team was crucial for their chances of advancing to the knockout stages.

Despite being a man down, Haiti managed to secure a 1-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago. Frantzdy Pierrot scored the lone goal for Haiti. The match was closely contested, with both teams displaying determination. Haiti's goalkeeper, Johny Placide, had previously stood out in their match against Saudi Arabia, making crucial saves.

The sending off of Duverne undoubtedly impacted Haiti's game plan, forcing them to adjust their strategy and rely on a strong defensive effort to maintain their lead. The victory, achieved under such circumstances, showcased the resilience and determination of the Haitian team.
