Not quite as weird, but makes me think of this story from 1994 (futbol)


Barbados needs to win by 2 in order to overcome the goal differential tie breaker to advance in the Caribbean Cup. They are playing Grenada who would be eliminated if they lost by 2. At that tournament, an OT win counted as 2 in the goal differential. So up 1 with 7 minutes to go, Barbados decides they liked their chances of scoring a goal in OT more than scoring in the remaining time.

So Barbados scores an own goal, it's 2-2. Grenada figures out what Barbados is trying to do and just needs the ball to go into either goal to win or lose by just 1, so Barbados is defending both goals and Grenada is attacking both goals. The game goes to OT.

Barbados scores in OT.
