thats hilarious
The Caribbean Cup, also known as Copa Caribe and Caribbean Nations Cup (1999-2003), previously officially called Caribbean Championship (1989-1990) then the Shell Caribbean Cup (1991 -1998), and now Digicel Caribbean Cup (2005), is a football tournament, held for the CONCACAF national teams of the Caribbean. The tournament doubles as a qualifying event for the Gold Cup.
In the group stages of the 1994 tournament, there was an unusual match between Barbados and Grenada. Grenada went into the match with a superior goal differential, meaning Barbados needed to win by two goals to progress to the finals. The trouble was caused by an unusual rule which stated that in the event of a game going to sudden death extra time (equivalent to modern day golden goal), the winner would be awarded a two goal victory.
Barbados were leading 2-0 until the 83rd minute, when Grenada scored, making it 2-1. When the Barbadians realized they had no chance of scoring past Grenada's mass defence, they turned around and deliberately scored an own goal to tie the game, which would send the game into extra time. The Grenadians realized what was going on, and attempted to score an own goal, as well, which would put Barbados back in front by one goal and send them out of the competition. However, the Barbados players started defending their opposition's goal to prevent them doing this. During the game's last five minutes, the fans were treated to the incredible sight of Grenada trying to score on either goal. Barbados defended both ends of the pitch, and held off Grenada for the final five minutes, sending the game into extra time. In extra time, Barbados notched the game-winner, and, according to the rules, was awarded a 4-2 victory, which put them through to the next round.
