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. 1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated as the International Year of the Family and the International Year of the Sport and the Olympic Ideal. // Events January Bill Clinton January 1 : North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) goes into effect. ...

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 on top 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 a team defending their opponent's goal preventing them from scoring in the back of their own net!!!

Eventually, the game did go sudden death extra time, and Barbados scored and was victorious.
