The Shell Caribbean Cup in 1994 was the 5th play of the Caribbean football championship . The final round took place in Trinidad and Tobago from April 7-17, 1994 . The games were played at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain . The name sponsor of the tournament was the oil company Shell , based in the Netherlands.

Hosts Trinidad and Tobago won their third title and became Caribbean champions in 1994. The tournament was not considered to qualify for the CONCACAF Gold Cup that year .

Attendees

A total of 21 teams took part in the competition. All were members of the Caribbean Football Union , a regional subsidiary of CONCACAF . The US Virgin Islands , Antigua and Barbuda , Aruba , the Bahamas , Saint-Martin , the Netherlands Antilles , the Turks and Caicos Islands and St. Lucia did not participate. Cuba withdrew shortly before the start of qualification, so that only two teams played in Group 6.

19 teams therefore started in the group stage of qualifying as hosts Trinidad and Tobago and defending champions Martinique were seeded for the finals.

Control experiment

In the preliminary round, FIFA tried out a rule according to which the group matches in the preliminary round also went into overtime in the event of a tie. The overtime should end after the first goal ( Sudden Victory Overtime or Golden Goal ), but this goal should be counted twice - since the goal difference can also be decisive in the final table, this should compensate for the "disadvantage" that a Golden -Goal rule no more chance of multiple hits. If extra time remained goalless, the preliminary round game went to penalties . Both teams received one point and the winner of the penalty shoot-out received a goal for the goal difference.

After the preliminary round, this new rule was abolished because it turned out to be very problematic (see below), and in the final round the tried and tested group mode was used without any extensions.

Curiosity in the game Barbados against Grenada

Through a rule experiment - that every game in the qualifying round had to result in a win or a defeat - and the fact that a golden goal was not one, but two "goals", a very curious game emerged. Grenada was at the top of the table with 3 points and a goal difference of +2. Barbados were behind with 0 points and -1 goal difference. To qualify for the championship, Barbados had to win the game by at least two goals.

After Grenada scored the goal to 2-1 in the 83rd minute, Barbados equalized with an own goal to 2-2 - in the hope of achieving the required result of 4-2 with a golden goal. Since Grenada would still make it into the championship with one goal difference - but with one lost game - Barbados then had to defend both goals to prevent a Grenadian goal or own goal.
