Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare offensive actions between top and last teams of Greek Soccer First Division in a retrospective analysis of ten latter seasons (1998-2008). Results presented that top teams, as expected, scored more goals and made more shots on target compared to last teams. Moreover, top teams made more shots both inside and outside penalty area compared to last teams but last teams presented more shots outside compared to inside penalty area shots. As far as, assists made concerned, top teams had greater number of assists made resulting in a goal or not. Retrospective analysis showed a goal scoring declination through years but an increment in shots made on target. Results pointed out top teams’ technical and tactical maturity and their highest competence in individual actions. Top teams seem to have greater ability in scoring goals and create more scoring opportunities through smaller distance shots (inside penalty area) and assists.
