An amazing match in Dortmund saw FIFA World Cup debutants Trinidad and Tobago hold Sweden to a goalless draw on Saturday, 10 June 2006.
An injury to the Soca Warriors' first-choice goalkeeper Kelvin Jack shortly before kick-off gave West Ham United's Shaka Hislop a chance to shine on the world's biggest stage. Hislop did that - and more - as the 37-year-old pulled off a string of superb saves to deny Ibrahimovic, Larsson and Co.
The final scoreline was made all the more incredible as Trinidad and Tobago, ranked 47th in the world, compared to Sweden's 16, had Avery John sent-off in the 46th minute for two bookable offences.
At full-time, the Caribbean side's players and supporters danced for joy, while Lars Lagerback's men slumped to the turf in disappointment. The match may not have produced any goals, but the drama was there for all to see.
Competing in their first finals, Trinidad and Tobago pulled off a famous result, showing tenacity and no lack of tactical discipline to hold the more favoured Sweden to a goalless draw. Playing against 10 men for virtually the entire second half, Scandinaviaˇ¦s sole representatives were unable to break through and will now have to regroup for their next match against Paraguay.
Squad: 23 Rami Shaaban - 7 Niclas Alexandersson, 3 Olof Mellberg (K), 4 Teddy Lucic, 5 Erik Edman - 6 Tobias Linderoth (16 Kim Källström 78') - 21 Christian Wilhelmsson (18 Mattias Jonson 78'), 8 Anders Svensson (20 Marcus Allbäck 62'), 9 Fredrik Ljungberg - 10 Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 11 Henrik Larsson.
