What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: Wikipedia.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyFolks, the score is two-two, a team has just scored on its own net on purpose, and the crowd does not know whether to cheer or call a lawyer!
Chip DarnellOn purpose? That can't be real, Rex.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyBarbados led two-nil but needed to win by two goals.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyThen Grenada scores in the eighty-third minute, and in the eighty-seventh Barbados scores on itself to make it two-two!
Chip DarnellThat actually happened?
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyThe tournament rule said a golden goal in extra time wins the match and counts as two goals!
Rex "Two-Point" GridleySo Barbados just wants extra time, and one goal wins it!
Chip DarnellWell, that's the kind of strategic thinking you'd need a PhD in chaos theory to pull off.
Chip DarnellI respect the plan, but that's a lot of math for a soccer game.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyAnd now Grenada catches on!
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyFor the last three minutes they try to score in either net, because losing by one still sends them through, and Barbados is defending both goals!
Chip DarnellBoth goals?
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyBarbados scores the golden goal in extra time and wins four-two! January twenty-seventh, nineteen ninety-four, Caribbean Cup qualifying, per Wikipedia.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyThe organisers scrapped the rule after the tournament.
Chip DarnellSo the rule that made everyone play backwards is the only thing that lost.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyTwo goals in the wrong net, and the only team that lost was the rulebook!
