Haiti Fall 7-1 to Australia as McKenna Strikes Inside 80 Seconds

Haiti's women's national team suffered a 7-1 defeat to Australia in an international friendly, with Matildas forward Leticia McKenna scoring just 80 seconds into the match, according to Yahoo News Australia and 7NEWS (via AAP). The 24-year-old opened the scoring with what 7NEWS described as a "fantastic first-time strike," setting the tone for a dominant Australian performance. The outlets framed the result as a "bounceback" win for the Matildas, who are building toward next year's World Cup. McKenna's early goal was highlighted across both reports as the standout moment of the fixture. Yahoo News Australia, citing a Matildas video source, led its coverage on the lightning opener, while 7NEWS, in a report by Sebastian Tan for AAP, emphasized McKenna's growing form, writing that the young forward is "going from strength to strength." The match was published as a sporting friendly on October 13, 2026. Further detail on Haiti's lineup, goalscorer and the competitive context was not provided in the available source excerpts. The scoreline marks a difficult outing for the Haitian side against one of the region's established powers.
