On this day, 13 years ago, the most strange thing in football history had happened

Today, the 13th anniversary is estimated from the time Australia had passed the phase of direct elimination at the World Cup, for the first and only time in history.

The Australians equalled 2-2 to Croatia in Stutgart to end up second in Group F, five points behind Brazil's leader.

However, they had to follow the score twice after Dario Srna and Niko Kovac scored for Croatia, giving the two goals the advantage, Periscope broadcasts.

With Zlatko Kranjcar's boys approaching the qualifications, Harry Kewell took responsibility and took points out of the Australia game, with the latter continuing to the next stage.

Poll...

Dario Simic was also expelled for Croatia five minutes before the match ended, before Brett Emerton was expelled for Australia.

However, the drama did not end here after a third red card was divided to the extra time, in what remains today as the most failed episode in World Cup history.

Croatia's Josip Simunic was charged with red card before the third yellow card was shown in the match.

Yeah, you read it straight. Justice Graham Poll failed to take him to the strip store after showing him the second yellow card four minutes earlier.

Justice was finally decided after he was given evacuation orders in the 93rd minute.

Unbelievable, isn't it? /Periscope. com/
