Ooohhh... should I give it to you? Because you failed to mention the specific phrase I was looking for!
But seeing as you clearly read the same news article I did last week, you can have it!
Your go, UP...

I had no idea you worked for the BBC UP.
Probably not this, but it is the obvious one: Match fixing?

not match fixing for gambling purposes. but he deliberately put through his own net with three minutes of the 90 left

To engineer a runner-up place in a group because of the draw? They prefered to play the team they would if they came second rather than first?

Or he wanted the team he was playing against to get a better goal difference and finish ahead of someone?

Weyland is nearly right but not 100% right yet.
barbados were winning 1-0, sealy's deliberate own goal made it 1-1 and the game went into extra time. so why did he do this?

intelligent guess but it is not right i'm afraid.
here's another clue: it has to do with a rule about golden goal

The player who scored the golden goal got a bonus of some sort?
