Abstract

As characteristics of the goals scored in the futsal, the following are taken into account: the part of the goal that is successfully hit, the part of the field from which the ball was shot, the time that passed from the beginning to the goal scored and the changes of the result during the match. These qualities have been brought into connection with the qualities of the game taking into account the games in the group stage of the competition and the games in the playoffs. The characteristics of the goals are also linked with the results of the matches in which they were achieved and with the result changes during the match. The research was conducted at a set of matches from the futsal competitions played in 2016, at the European Championship and the World Cup. In these competitions, the bottom half of the goal was hit 330 times (68.6%) and the top one 151 times (31.4%). The right side of the goal was hit 249 times (51.8%) and the left one 232 times (48.2%). From penalty area teams scored 39.1% goals and 54.3% out of it. The proportion of goals that the winning teams scored from outside the penalty area is higher in the group stage than in the playoffs. Especially significant was the goal by which one team comes to the lead of two goals advantage. In European Championship and the World Cup, a team was leading by two or more goals during 34% and 38% of the total time, respectively.
