The mean rank of winning team is higher than losing team with (20.07 vs. 10.94). The second indicator is goal scoring time, the highest frequency of goal scoring time is at 31-45 minutes between winning (Mean ± SD), (0.53 ± 0.640) and losing (0.00 ± 0.000), (Z =-2.958, p< 0.05).

Moreover, the highest frequency of pitch area where the ball was score is at the middle area between winning (Mean ± SD), (1.67 ± 0.976) and losing (0.47 ± 0.640), (Z = -3.407, p<0.05). Mean rank show that the winning team have higher results compare losing team (20.07 vs. 10.30). Lastly, the highest frequency of position of the scorer is at inside box area between winning (Mean ± SD), (1.73 ± 1.100) and losing (0.40 ± 0.632), (Z = - 3.379, p<0.05).
