It would go to the kicking team. I would know from experience and they would put it down as O and then put that player's number. ---- It's known as an "own goal". The defender unluckily scores for the other team and he is credited with the goal.

I believe you are referring to the murder of Andres Escobar, the Colombian soccer player who scored an own goal against the US in the 1994 World Cup. It was reported that his murderer, Humberto Castro Munoz, shouted "Goal!" each time he shot Escobar. On a side note, Munoz was released from prison in 2005.
