DESCRIPTIVE AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE GOALS ACHIEVED AFTER CORNER KICKS IN THE SPANISH LEAGUE 1ST DIVISION: 2015 AND 2019 SEASONS
Abstract
The objectives of the study were to exhaustively describe the way of scoring goals after corner kicks in order to analyze the existence of differences, between the 2014/15 (n = 112) and 2018/19 (n = 90) seasons, in the Liga de Spanish First Division. The study aimed to analyze the real incidence of this game action and identify which variables are associated with the effectiveness of the action by analyzing all the SDE actions that end in a goal in those seasons. As a main conclusion, the results could show a certain evolution of the predominance of direct or first-action corner kicks (2014/15) towards second or third-action corner kicks (2018/19). Increased the number of players involved in the action and a loss of the dominance of the header as a finishing action, probably related to the change in trend from direct corner kicks (2014/15) towards second-action corner kicks or rebounds (2018/19).
