yeah, I remember that

I remember that match... I was one of the refs. The goal was about 1/16" inch short of being in the scoring zone. We (refs) used an orange right angle square to determine if the goal was in the zone or not. We made sure that no one touched the goal, and it didn't move... it just wasn't quite far enough to be in the scoring zone.

We (refs) made sure that goal position (in or out) was determined before we counted anything else on the field, since we didn't want to alter the position of the goal.

Not only was it really close, we even pulled the coach from the losing alliance onto the field to see that they actually did not score the goal... it really wasn't debatable.

All in all... an exciting and memorable match. That goal was full o' balls, and it would've been another 25+ points for the alliance who came about a millimeter away from winning.
