Blue is the first half, grey the second, amber the two stoppage-time bins. Minutes are as recorded: first-half stoppage counts as 45+, and anything after 90 as 90+.
47.5% of goals come before half time. That figure counts first-half stoppage time, which is where most published numbers go wrong: goals in added time at the end of the half are recorded as minutes 46, 47 and 48, so cutting the match at minute 45 pushes them into the second half and gives 44.1% instead — out by 3.4 points.
First Goal Timing
Across 65 matches the first goal arrived after 25.5 minutes on average. The histogram shows when the opening goal was scored, in three-minute bins, including matches with no goal at all.
