Barbados were leading 2-0 until the 83rd minute, when Grenada scored, making it 2-1. Approaching the dying moments, the Barbadians, realizing they had no chance of scoring past Grenada's mass defence, turned around and deliberately scored an own goal to tie the game, which would send it into extra time and give them another half hour to break down the defence. The Grenadians realized what was going on, and attempted to score an own goal, as well, which would put Barbados back in front by one goal and send them out of the competition. However, the Barbados players started defending their opposition's goal to prevent them doing this.
