Numbers from the just finished mini-tournament

Since the first edition in 2000, we saw a boring last duel at the 2019 Club World Cup event for the second time. Despite this tedious and goalless 90 minutes final, in 10 nights 27 goals were scored in 8 matches or 3.37 per match. Twelve of those were given in the first 45 minutes, while 15 was scored in the second half. On top of that, 1 was at stoppage time, while 1 was an unfortunate own goal. However, if we add 3 more scored in extra time (2 of them given in first 15 additional time plus 1 in the second extra), then 3.75 goals were given per game.
In 720 minutes of football the 'man in blue' gave 3 red cards, of whom 2 were direct whilst 1 player received two yellow cards in 1 game. As for punishments there were 3, and all of them in only 49 minutes of play. This means that 1 penalty was converted in second half, whilst the other 2 were just 7 minutes apart from each other in the first half.
With this 'little' round-up, the official international matches for 2019 are over. Everyone are hoping that in the year with two repetitive numbers will witness plenty of exciting games and goals.
