Anyone recall this ever happening before?

Granada last night picked up a 1-0 win against Real Madrid, despite not having a single shot on target all match. The answer to the riddle is quite simple (the goal was a Ronaldo own goal), but it's a bizarre result nonetheless. Can anyone remember the last time this happened, if ever?

When I was at school, we played an inter-house tournament, round robin playing 3 games each. We topped the table without scoring a single goal.
All our games were 0-0 draws, and the rules were that drawn games were decided on the number of corner kicks.
If only we'd played Real Madrid at the time......

Haha, my school were no better. I didn't play for the first team but i was on the injury call up list and in three years I had two goals to my name. The first was from a corner, a botched clearance by the defender hit me in the face at close range and rebounded into the goal. They called it a deliberate header and I didn't bother correcting them, was probably too busy collecting my teeth. The second was my only 'proper' goal, and for thirty seconds I was a professional footballer. Goalkeeper spotted my run and booted te ball out to me, i stuck my foot in the way and it caught it at an angle that miraculously bounced it over my only mark leaving me a clean run to tap it through the keepers feet. I never once admitted I was blinded by the sun, had no idea where the ball was and simply stuck my foot out in hope, not when everyone was declaring it the best first touch they had ever seen. A few games later I think they cottoned on i wasnt THAT good though.
I used to score quite regularly for my team, maybe one, two goals a game. I was brilliant. Of course I was ten years old playing in the under eights team my dad's mate setup. Perhaps that had something to do with my genius. I was never able to find that kind of form as I got older though, not sure why.
My first ever goal for my school team was from a corner. At the front post, went up for a header, closed my eyes, missed the ball, bounced off my shoulder and in. I didn't even know i'd scored until my team mates started congratulating me. There was also no way I could pass it off as deliberate though
