Patterns of play in soccer-end analysis of situations using observational methodology

The purpose of this study is to know the context in which the finalization or attempt of finalization of offensive process takes place in soccer. The game analysis is concerned in obtaining quantitative data of the game actions without taking into account the context where these occur. For this reason we use Observational Methodology and Theme 5.0 to detect behaviour patterns in game finalization in soccer, in the world championship FIFA 2002. The sample is composed by 47 games of the Korea/Japan 2002 FIFA World Cup, allowing to code 55 finalization plays through the free kicks and 285 from cross plays. The data was subject to sequential analysis, through Theme 5.0, with which was possible to detect the game patterns. We obtained 1 complete pattern of a free kick and 17 cross plays, all without obtaining a goal, indicating the importance of the initial conditions and the non linearity of the game.
