Abstract

The goal of this research is to discover and analyze the technical-tactical patterns of the attacker and the goalkeeper in the penalty shootouts (n=121) within the Spanish football league during the 2016-17 season. Different techniques of common analysis used in observational methodology were used to carry out this study: statistical analysis with the SPSS, T-Patterns detections with the Theme and the analysis of polar coordinates with the HOISAN software. The results show a tendency of the shooters where they don’t perform any movements before taking the shot, while the goalkeepers tend to perform different movements, although their behavior is different for the right-handed and left-handed players. Most of the shooters choose a long run. Half of the time, the goalkeeper stops the shot; he does it illegally because it anticipates the shoot from the shooter.
