Total of 31 matches from UEFAEURO 2012 were analyzed and 5 matches were excluded from analysis due to matches end up drawn. There are two groups of variable used in the study which is; i. the goal scoring variable and ii. passing sequences variable. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon matched pair rank test with significant value set at p &amp;lt; 0.05. Current study found the timing of goal scored was significantly higher for winning team at 1st half (Z3.416, p.001) and 2nd half (Z3.252, p.001). The scoring frequency was also found to be increase as time progressed and the last 15 minutes of the game was the time interval the most goals scored. The indicators that were significantly differences between winning and losing team were the goal scored (Z4.578, p.000), the head (Z2.500, p.012), the right foot (Z3.788,p.000), corner (Z.2.126,p.033), open play (Z3.744,p.000), inside the penalty box (Z4.174, p.000) , attackers (Z2.976, p.003) and also the midfielders (Z3.400, p.001). Regarding the passing sequences, there are significance difference between both teams in short passing sequences (Z.4.141, p.000). While for the long passing, there were no significance difference (Z.1.795, p.073). The data gathered in present study can be used by the coaches to construct detailed training program based on their objectives.</abstract> <index>Open Science Index 74, 2013</index> </article>
