Well, I decided to check out the Middlesbrough F.C. vs Leeds United match stats. First, I fired up my computer and opened the sports website where I usually get all the footy info. I started looking around on the page to find the section for this specific match.
I scrolled down a bit, and there it was! The stats section. I clicked on it right away. The first thing I saw were the basic numbers like the number of goals. Middlesbrough scored 2 goals, and Leeds United scored 1. That was pretty easy to spot.
Then I dived deeper. I wanted to know about the shots on target. Middlesbrough had 8 shots on target, while Leeds United only had 5. I thought that was kind of interesting. It seemed like Middlesbrough was really going for it in terms of attacking.
I also checked out the possession stats. Leeds United had 55% of the ball, which meant they had more control of the game. But Middlesbrough made the most of their chances with those 2 goals.
I looked at the fouls too. Middlesbrough committed 12 fouls, and Leeds United committed 10. It was a bit of a rough game, it seemed.
Next, I was curious about the passes. Middlesbrough completed 350 passes, and Leeds United completed 400. That showed Leeds United’s better ball – control during the game.
After going through all these stats, I started to form an opinion. Even though Leeds United had more possession and completed more passes, Middlesbrough was more clinical in front of the goal. They took their chances well and got the win.
Overall, looking at these stats was a fun experience. It gave me a better understanding of how the game went and how each team performed. And it’s always cool to see how numbers can tell the story of a football match.
