What if a defender wants to score in his own net, and the opponent strikers tries to stop him?!!
This is not a joke, it happened.
In the first round of the 2nd ASEAN Football Championship last decade, Thailand faced Indonesia in the last game of their group phase. No one wanted to win to avoid the host, Vietnam, in the semi-final.
There were lousy goals. Then, in the injury time, Indonesia's defender Mursyid Effendi(White kit -no.8) scored the own goal intentionally in his own net. Thailand were forced to win 3-2 and faced Vietnam in the semi-final. Thai players were trying to stop him.
Both teams were fined for "violating the spirit of the game" and Mursyid Effendi was banned from football for life. "
