After losing 2 points so late in the game on Saturday - I was wondering if teams
had suffered worse than United so late in games......
And oh dear...........yes they have
In the Norwegian women's Cup final, the score between Asker and Strømmen
was 0-0 after 90 minutes, but finished 4-0 to Asker after extra-time.
Surprisingly there are worse !
Look no further than the third-round Norwegian men's Cup
clash between Tromsø and local rivals Tromsdalen in 1996. The score was 3-3
after 90 minutes, but Tromsø went on to win 8-3 after extra-time, with
Birmingham flop Sigurd Rushfeldt scoring five goals.
But Rugby were on the receiving end of an even greater added-time thrashing, in
the 2004-05 Southern League Cup third-round meeting with Sutton Coldfield.
With a minute of normal time remaining, Rugby led 2-0; when the final whistle
blew it was 2-2. Rugby, fielding a host of youth team players and reserves
continued the capitulation by conceding a further six in extra-time to lose 8-
2. "The heads dropped and their legs went in extra-time," admitted Rugby boss
Tony Dobson afterwards.
Special mention, however, must be given to Walsall's 1995 FA Cup second-round
replay with Torquay at the Bescot. Three apiece after 90 minutes, a Kyle
Lightbourne-inspired Walsall pushed on to seal a memorable 8-4 win.
