The Caribbean countries host an international football tournament called the Shell Caribbean Cup.
So, in 1994, the most surprising event in the history of football happened.
A lot of people don’t believe it because it’s hard to believe.

So the Group 1. In the group gathered the teams of Barbados, Grenada and Puerto Rico.
Rico, and only one team according to the rules should leave the group to the next round of the final phase. The Grenada team won the first round.
Puerto Rico scored 2–0, while Barbados lost their match with the Puerto Rican with a minimum score of 0–1.

Grenada 3 points ball difference 2:0
Puerto Rico 3 points 1–2 ball difference
Barbados 0 points 0:1 ball difference

Consequently, to the last round in the group Grenada came in the first place, and it was necessary not to lose to Barbados. To take the first place
Barbados had to beat blood from the nose in the match.
Granada, with a difference of 2 balls. Everything would be nothing, if not the strangest rule of the tournament, according to which the golden goal in the added time was equal to two goals.

The last match of the group is Barbados-Grenada. Two fast goals.
Barbados led the match with a score of 2-0. This count, which satisfied the Barbados, lasted up to the 83rd minute. Unfortunately for the latter, the autogol virtually wasted its efforts. The score was 2:1. And the Grenadians stood up at their gates, defending tightly against the opponent – because a third goal in their gates would be a disaster.

Seeing that time is flying, the match is approaching the end, two defenders
Barbados (Seely and Staut) exchanging passes between themselves realized that their team would not be able to score a goal in the remaining minutes, and Seely changed orientation and deliberately scored a goal in their gates. “Chukcha is not a fool!”
After all, in this way he earned for his team a whole 30 minutes of added time, during which you can score one goal – “golden goal” – which, equal to 2 ordinary goals, will help bring the team to the first place.

Hurried by this development of things, the players of Grenada almost fossilized.
Everything got off the head: now the Grenadines have to score a goal. and then,
It doesn’t matter which door to hit the goal. And they, of course, chose the easiest way: they ran to score a goal in their gates! The comedy has just begun.

"And Chukcha is not a fool!" the Barbados, like Karpov in his best times, calculated everything in advance. They rushed to the opponent’s gate, and... began to defend the gate of Grenada from the autogol of Grenada. Behind the goalkeeper of the Grenadines stood the defender of Barbados Seely – he embodied the last line. To the great pleasure, delight and fatigue of the crowded spectators, in the last two minutes of the main time plus four minutes of added time, the Grenadians tried to score a goal - without a choice - in any gate, and the Barbados - defended both at their gate and at the opponent's gate. Just imagine yourself.

Barbados has survived. Grenade failed to score a goal. Even at your doorstep!

In the added time, the brilliant plan of Barbados worked. Player of Barbados
Thorne scored a "golden goal", which automatically stopped the game and made the score 4:2 in favor of Barbados. And by the difference of balls, Barbados won the pathway to the final phase of the Caribbean Cup. at the stadium
The National Stadium in Bridgetown was full of fun and fun.

Grenada coach James Clarkson was angry after the match:
“I feel overwhelmed. A man who intended to adopt such rules is a straight path to a psychic. The game, in which so many scared footballers ran on the pitch, should not have taken place in the logic of things. “Our players didn’t know which way to run to attack the goal: our goal or the opponent’s goal. I have never seen anything like this in my life. According to the rules and traditions of football, you have to score a goal in the opponent’s goal, not in your own goal, in order to win the match.

Well, if you still doubt the truthfulness of this story, then see it all with your own eyes: Video clip.
