No goals were scored only in one competition. Because of 12 goals scored were own goals, 157 goals scored were analyzed on eleven different ways. The research data were collected e-analysis soccer programme. Frequency, average, standard deviation which were descriptive statistics were used for analysis of the research data. Consequently it was observed that 61,14% of goals were scored in the 2nd half of the matches and most of goals in the last 15 minutes of the matches, 63,69% of goals were scored after organized attack (open play), 38,59% of goals were scored from penalty, 78,98% of goals were scored with foot shot, 72,61% of goals were scored with one touch, 84,71% of the goals were scored through the penalty zone and 60,50% of the goals were scored in 3rd zone which was determined in the penalty zone.

Asist player’s playing position was 44,03% midfielder. 11,92% of asist were passed from 9th zone which was determined outside the penalty zone. The work guided the coaches to design real competition-like trainings and tailor the game style to the match situation. Coaches can also use this information to set goals for players and teams that specifically refer to offense and defense games. It is advisable to coach to use the 3rd zone set in the penalty zone for more goals and to use the 3rd zone in the penalty zone for more effective defense for fewer goals.


Introduction
The importance of processes to measure game and player quality in football is growing.From one point of view, this is a natural result of industrialization.Today, not only the coaches of professional teams, but even the coaches of amateur teams want to know how many miles the players run.In particular, the statistical studies made from post-match images, that is, these data produced in time and thinking, have the power to influence team strategies and shed light on the future of football today and the future.
In the literature, there are many studies related to match analysis and goal analysis.While some of these studies were based on passes' number before the goal, some studies focused on the time when goals were scored, some of them had an impact on the outcome of the first goal (Hughes & Franks, 2005;Yiannakos & Armatas, 2006).Some studies focused on the way the goals were formed and searched for goals scored as a result of organized attack games and set games, while others explored the area where the goals were scored and the goals scored (Jinshan, Xiakone, Yamanaka & Matsumoto, 1993;Çobanoğlu & Terekli, 2018).
Statistical analysis, such as any scientific process, is not a way to find the truth, but a way to approach it.One of the most important skills of coaches is the ability to observe and recall all critical events of a sporting performance.(Borrie, Jonsson & Magnusson, 2002).Although the data used for this purpose comes from within the field, some are not yet measured, some will not be measured at all, some will be more affected by factors that develop outside the field.There is only one statistic in football that explains the score without mistake, which is the statistics of the ball that crosses the goal line, i.e. the number of goals.Parameters other than goals are not known to the expected goal, but can give clues to the team's understanding of the game.
In this study, it was aimed to analyze the goals of 2018 World Cup with regard to following new soccer trends.

Statistical Analysis

Conclusion
The work guided the coaches to design real competition-like trainings and tailor the game style to the match situation.
Coaches can also use this information to set goals for players and teams that specifically refer to offense and defense games.It is advisable to coach to use the 3rd zone set in the penalty area for more goals and to use the 3rd zone in the penalty area for more effective defense for fewer goals.
