The strangest fútbol match ever

To celebrate the beginning of the World Cup (vai, Brasil! 🇧🇷), here's my favorite football story:

Back in 1994, Barbados and Grenada were playing each other as part of a qualifying round for the Caribbean Cup. Barbados had to win with a 2 goal difference, and was in fact winning the game by 2–0 until Grenada scored near the end of the game, making the game 2–1. This meant Barbados had 7 minutes to score another goal in order to not be eliminated.

They were having trouble scoring, when they remember FIFA was trying a new rule during this championship: if the game went to extra time, the golden goal was worth 2 goals. So they decided it would be nice to have 30 minutes of extra time to try to score against Grenada, and they scored an own goal, bring the match to 2–2.

Grenada realized what Barbados was doing. They also realized they could eliminate Barbados by scoring a goal on either side! Either 3–2 or 2–3 meant Grenada would advance to the finals, so they started attacking both goals, while Barbados defended both goals!

This lasted 3 minutes, and Grenada was not able to score. The game went to extra time, and Barbados eventually scored, winning the match 4–2.
