Delfines del Este and Violett met in Group Stage 2 of the CONCACAF Club Championship in the Caribbean on 19 August 2026, and the visitors took a narrow 1-0 win. The scoreline tells only half the story of a match where one moment decided everything.
E. Dejean broke the deadlock in the 51st minute, finding the net after a period of cautious play. Before that, the only notable incident came in the 43rd minute when S. Saba picked up a yellow card for Delfines. The hosts had dug in, but the breakthrough came from Violett's persistence.
By then, the game had settled into a rhythm that neither side could quite shake. Delfines made three changes around the 74th minute, bringing on D. Norestant, C. Louis-Jean and M. Chery. Violett responded with their own trio at the 81st hour — D. Losada, Y. Corcino and E. Gomez all came off. E. Segura de Leon added another substitution in the 85th minute for the visitors.
The stats paint a picture of dominance without conversion. Violett held 62 per cent possession and registered four shots on target, yet only found the back of the net once. Delfines had just 38 per cent of the ball and managed zero shots on target all evening. To be fair, some matches turn on moments rather than sustained pressure.
Both sides picked up bookings as the game wore on. M. Jeanty and D. Losada went off the field with yellow cards, while two unnamed players and R. Sala Batista collected yellows in stoppage time. The result extends Violett's momentum from their recent 3-0 victory over Defence Force, while Delfines' run of draws and narrow defeats continues.
