 (Reuters) - Haiti manager Sebastien Migne was disappointed his side could not earn a first World ​Cup point for the country but was proud ‌of how they battled against Morocco where they twice went ahead before conceding two late goals to lose 4-2 on Wednesday.

 

Haiti, ​back at the World Cup for the first ​time since 1974, had already been eliminated after ⁠two defeats ahead of their final Group C game.

 

"I'm ​disappointed from a result standpoint, I would have liked for ​us to score more and win, but that being said, I didn't feel as though the boys gave up. Even in ​challenging conditions after that third goal, I was worried ​we would collapse," said Migne.

 

"It has to do with the Haitians' culture. ‌They ⁠just don't give up that easily. So they were a nice reflection of the culture of the country. They represented their country right."

 

"We managed to show that ​we were worthy ​of this ⁠qualification. We were in the right place. Now we need to make some improvements ​and not wait for another 52 years."

 

"It's a ​ripe ⁠new chapter in the history of Haiti. We were very close to making history in this World Cup, and ⁠in ​case we couldn't win, we wanted ​to leave the World Cup with our heads high, and I think ​we did that."
