Parallel structure, which is also known a parallelism, means the use of the same pattern of words in order to show that two or more words or ideas in the sentence have equal importance.

Answer:
Haiti plays against Italy and it is the first time he feels the connection to Haiti and he is for the first time proud of being Haitian.
Explanation:
"Bonee Annee" is a personal essay written by Jean-Pierre Benoit. It tells us a story about a Haitian family that moves from Haiti to the United States because their country is run by a dictator Papa Doc. The author moves to USA at a very young age, so he has no special connection to any of the two countries. He lives in America doing all what an average person does there, but also he experiences Haitian culture while living with his family who kept Haitian way of living. After Papa Doc and then his son Bebe Doc left the country, the family returns to Haiti, but the author is not happy about it because he is used to living in America, he has friends, school and all.
To get back to the question, the World Cup soccer match shown at Madison Square Garden is important to the author because his home country played against Italy and for the first time he felt the connection to his origin and pride of being Haitian.
