Watching South Africa score against Egypt in the 85th minute (African cup) silencing a stunned stadium, I was trying to think of other examples.
Me..?
Close to home was Iran's equaliser vs Australia in Sydney 1998 (world cup qualifier play off, Iran needed a draw).
For some reason I was filled with middle eastern solidarity (coupled with revolt at Aussie jingoism) and secretly supported Iran.
And then in the dying minutes after Australia should have been about 6:1 up, the equalizer went in...
My secret was out and I remember being chased round the garden by an a fuming brother in law...
Has Charlton ever done that..?

I remember watching the old home internationals in the late 70's when England were away at Hampden Park, cannot recall much noise when England scored
I thought the volume on my TV had broken because of the silence. The only thing better then that was seeing Gordon Strachan's reaction after the goal.
I think Torres against Barca?
My Sunderland supporting mate said you could see the net buldge when we scored then after what seemed ages they were hit by a massive roar. Slight tangent
Almost worse than when it happens at aways because of the contrast between the silenced home stands and distant noise from the Jimmy Seed.
“Welcome,” the radio commentator Jonathan Pearce said as the game kicked off, “to Bologna on Capital Gold for England versus San Marino with Tennent’s Pilsner, brewed with Czechoslovakian yeast for that extra Pilsner taste... and England are one down.”
Remember it well - turned out OK in the end though!
"Goal news, Valiants fans", I can still hear him saying as he went around the grounds. You could tell if we had conceded as he seemed to say it with more gusto.
David Seaman i always thought.
