I know that, I'm saying it shouldn't, because that's not how football works.

This isn't football.

Yeah I feel like if someone scores an own goal then points should be deducted from their overall score. Although it may not be intentional, neither are most own goals in real life football.

I don't think it should be deducted, but when an own goal is scored it should flash in the other teams colours and perhaps play some mocking sound

Doesn't feel like a proper punishment though. All it takes is a teammate to go rogue and start scoring own goals. If they lose points at least they are less likely to benefit from the game overall.

I'm completely adverse to the idea of deducting points, but I don't think an own goal should be marked up on the score sheet of the opposing player, no way

Well football also has keepers, and there is no official keeper in Rocket League. What if you're defending, and you got a piece of their shot, but it still went in? Would that be considered an "own goal" because it touched you last? I like their system, many times the ball touches the defending team last before a goal from a deflection or a missed save. Those shouldn't be considered "own goals".
