UEFA Women's EURO 2001 (champions - Germany)
Germany beat Sweden 1-0 at the Donaustadion in Ulm on a golden goal, substitute Claudia Muller scoring on 97 minutes before 18,000 people after Sweden had unexpectedly taken the hosts to extra time. The rule that ended the match there no longer exists in the Laws.
Why this wins its question: Golden-goal finals get retold as trivia, with no one saying that the rule was later removed. This binds both halves: UEFA's record of the goal and its minute, and IFAB's current Law 10, which lists the only permitted ways to decide a match and mentions neither golden nor silver goal. It states the consequence plainly - the same goal today would end nothing, because extra time is now played out in full.

Germany beat Sweden 1-0 after extra time in the Women's EURO 2001 final at the Donaustadion in Ulm, substitute Claudia Muller scoring a golden goal on 97 minutes in front of a crowd of 18,000, after Sweden had unexpectedly taken the hosts to extra time.
UEFA's line-up shows Muller replacing Smisek in the 55th minute, so the substitute who ended the match had been on the pitch for 42 minutes when she scored.
The mechanism that decided this final no longer exists. Law 10 of the current Laws of the Game states that the only permitted procedures for determining the winning team are the away goals rule, two equal periods of extra time not exceeding 15 minutes each, and penalties taken from the penalty mark. Neither "golden goal" nor "silver goal" appears in it.
Under those current Laws a goal in the 97th minute of a knockout match would end nothing: both periods of extra time are played in full, and only if the teams are still level do kicks from the penalty mark follow.
The title was the third of the six consecutive Women's EUROs Germany won between 1995 and 2013.
