ANALYSIS OF THE ORIGIN AND FREQUENCY OF GOALS IN OFFICIAL U-20 FUTSAL MATCHES

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to analyze the origin and period of higher frequency of goals in official futsal matches for the under-20 category. The research is characterized by a quantitative, descriptive and observational study. The sample consisted of five teams that competed in the Roraimense Futsal Championship of the Under-20 category in the year 2023. 10 games of the qualifying phase of the competition were filmed. To analyze the origin of the goals, a classification with different offensive tactical contexts of the teams was used and for the analysis of the frequency of occurrence of the goals, the total game time was divided into four periods of 10 minutes. The results showed that the positional attack had the highest incidence in the origin of the goals of the entire competition, with 43.8%, totaling 28 goals in 10 analyzed games. Checking in more detail, it can also be seen that if the positional attack is grouped with the counterattack together with the individual plays, a total of 67.3% of the goals of the competition will be obtained. As for the frequency, the results showed that it was in the 3rd period (20min and 1sec to 30min) that the highest number of goals occurred. This study concluded that it is in the second half of the game that there is a higher incidence of goals. It is hoped that the results found can contribute to the technical commissions and athletes in the performance of training and games and that other studies are carried out in futsal competitions of different categories and suits, thus contributing with more information on how goals arise and in which moments of the futsal games they occur.
