Haiti Fall 7-1 to Australia in Women's Friendly as Dumornay Strikes Early
Melchie Dumornay's third-minute goal was not enough as the Matildas ran riot in a friendly won 7-1 in Australia.
Haiti's women's national team lost 7-1 to Australia in an international friendly on Tuesday, 13 October 2026, at the Stade Walter-Luzi, according to BBC Sport and Nine's Wide World of Sports. Haiti, managed by Pia Sundhage, took a surprise early lead when Melchie Dumornay scored in the third minute, assisted by Alexandra Ibrahim. Australia, under coach Joe Montemurro, responded through Leah McKenna, who scored twice (2' and 44') to give the Matildas a 2-1 half-time advantage. The match turned decisively after the break. Kethna Louis put through her own net in the 53rd minute, before Caitlin Foord (65'), Daniela Galic (72'), Charlotte Wheeler (79') and Holly McNamara (89') completed the rout. Sam Kerr provided an assist for Foord's goal. BBC Sport reported the result alongside other women's friendlies played the same day, including Germany's 2-1 win over Japan. Nine described the match as a 7-1 'thumping,' noting that young Australian players emerged while the result 'papered over cracks' in their World Cup campaign. Haiti captain Nérilia Mondesir led the side, which made several second-half substitutions.
