It has been determined at what time during the matches the players score the most goals during the IX round of the Azerbaijan Premier League in football.
According to Idman.biz, 53 matches were held in the national championship during the IX round (the first round match "Sabah" - "Qarabag" was postponed) and a total of 129 goals were recorded in these matches.
The peak time for scoring activity in the Azerbaijan Premier League falls on the 31-40 and 71-80 minutes. In both parts, the teams scored more than 20 goals, which is considered the highest figure among all periods. The other time interval when the most goals were recorded was between 81–90 minutes (including extra time) - 19 goals were scored in this part.
In the IX round match "Neftchi" - "Gabala", the capital representative scored two unanswered goals against the opponent's goal between the 71st and 81st minutes.
In the VII round game "Zira" - "Kapaz" (5:0), the home team scored two goals in the 33rd and 37th minutes, and then two more goals in the 71st and 83rd minutes.
Statistical indicators
The average goal indicators in the indicated intervals are as follows:
31-40 and 71-80 minutes - an average of 0.40 goals per game,
81–90 minutes - 0.36 goals.
These figures show that the peak phase of goal activity in the Azerbaijan Premier League falls at a time in games when defenders get tired, and teams introduce new forces into the attacking line, which leads to a change in the score.
At the same time, the number of goals in the first minutes of the games in the championship remains relatively low.
The trend may change during the season
Experts do not rule out that as the season progresses and players' fatigue increases, goal-scoring activity may shift to the middle of games.
Tournament table
Currently, according to the results of the IX round, the leader of the Azerbaijan Premier League is "Turan Tovuz" - the team has 18 points in its asset.
"Qarabag" is in second place with one point less and has one game in reserve.
The third and fourth places are shared by "Zira" and "Araz-Nakhchivan" - both clubs have 16 points.
