Barbados intentionally scored an own goal to help them win

Thanks to a weird golden goal rule.

YouTube description:

Barbados needed to win by two, but they were only up one. So instead of scoring in the traditional way they intentionally kicked in an own goal to get to extra time. That way, they'd have a chance at a golden goal that for some reason was worth two goals instead of just the usual one. Grenada spent three minutes trying to score on either net to keep themselves from getting knocked out, and the mayhem is still worth talking about today.

This is amazing. It reminds me of the when the Miami Dolphins were winning and did an intentional safety and gave the other team 2 points and gave them the kickoff. With only seconds left on the clock, they won that game.

edit: tried to Google it but couldn't find it.
