Sporting KC midfielder Soni Mustivar and the Haiti Men’s National Team will conclude their Copa America Centenario Sunday evening against Ecuador. The match will kick off at 5:30 p.m. CT and will be broadcast live on FS2, Univision and UDN.


Haiti is currently winless in this tournament, having lost to Peru 1-0 in their opener followed by a 7-1 loss to Brazil. Mustivar has yet to feature for Les Grenadiers in the competition.


Although Haiti cannot advance to the quarterfinal stage of the tournament, tonight’s match has major implications on the tournament. Brazil and Peru are currently tied for first in Group B with four points. Ecuador is in third place with two points. If Haiti earns a result against Ecuador, Brazil and Peru will advance to the quarterfinals, with one of those teams set to play the United States. If Ecuador defeats Haiti, their fate will be decided upon the conclusion of Brazil-Peru at 7:30 p.m. CT (FS1, Univision and UDN).


Ecuador are ranked 13 in FIFA's latest world rankings and are led by Manchester United midfielder Antonio Valencia and West Ham United striker Enner Valencia. Enner, along with former Chivas USA midfielder Miller Bolanos scored for Ecuador in a come-from-behind 2-2 draw against Peru.
