Abstract
With the attempts to change the game rules in favor of attack football, the aim of football that has speeded up in recent years is to achieve gather audiences at tribunes and in front of television. The number of goals plays a vital role in a football match becoming and finalizing in a great and exciting way. Changes in football playing rules have increased the number of goals and made the football even more attractive. The winner of a football match is determined by the number of goals scored. If both teams score equal number of goals, or if no goal is scored, the match is counted as even. For a goal to be counted, the ball should completely pass the goalpost line between the posts and under the crossbar, and the team that scored the goal should not have violated the game rules. In our study, an overall evaluation was made for the number of goals scored in 2011-2012 season. For this purpose, the number of goals scored in both halves of a match and the number of goals according to goal types were used as variables. Firstly, normality test was applied to determine whether there is a difference between the number of goals according to halves, and it was found that data demonstrate a normal distribution. Independent samples t-test was made for data demonstrating normal distribution in order to compare the means. As a result of the test, it was found that there is no meaningful difference between the number of goals scored in the first half and second half, and mean number of goals according to halves was presented as graphic. Eta coefficient was calculated to determine whether there is a relationship between the number of goals and goal types. According to eta coefficient, a relation of 92% was determined between the number of goals and goal types, and the number of goals according to goal types was presented as column chart.Normality of data was examined to determine whether there is a difference between the number of goals according to goal types, and it was found that the number of goals does not demonstrate a normal distribution. Hence, Kruskal-Wallis test was applied in order to determine whether there is a difference between the number of goals according to goal types. As a result of the test, it was concluded that there is meaningful difference between the number of goals according to goal types. Mann-Whitney test was applied to determine whether there is a difference between the number of goals and goal types. According to the results of the test, it was found that the number of goals scored by foot is more than those of other goal types; the number of goals scored by head is more than those of by penalty and own goal; there is no difference between the number of goals scored by own goal penalty.
