Haiti's all-time leading scorer arrives at the World Cup in the form of his life.
No one has scored more for Haiti than Duckens Nazon. With 44 goals in 76 appearances, the striker is his country''s all-time leading marksman — and he arrives at the World Cup having just finished joint-top scorer of CONCACAF qualifying with six goals.
Nazon''s journey mirrors his team''s: a well-travelled forward who has turned persistence into production, leading the line for a nation that finally has its global stage. His movement, finishing and leadership give Haiti a genuine outlet against Group C''s heavyweights.
Against Scotland, Brazil and Morocco, chances may be rare — and that is exactly when a striker of Nazon''s pedigree matters most. If Haiti are to make their mark, their record-breaker is the man most likely to write the headline.
