Page "Golden goal" Paragraph 13

The first golden goal recorded was in March 1993 by Australia against Uruguay in a quarter-final match at the FIFA World Youth Championships.

Huddersfield Town's Iain Dunn became the first British player to settle a match in this way-his 107th-minute goal beat Lincoln City 3-2 in the Auto Windscreens Shield on 30 November 1994.

The first major tournament final to be decided by such a goal was the 1995 Auto Windscreens Shield Final where Birmingham beat Carlisle United 1-0 with a goal from Paul Tait, followed by the 1996 European Football Championship, won by Germany over the Czech Republic.

The golden goal in this final was scored by Oliver Bierhoff.
