The purpose of the present study was to create a two-dimensional model which illustrates a landscape of shooting opportunities at goal during a competitive football match. For that purpose, we analysed exemplar attacking subphases of each team when the ball was in the last 30 m of the field. The player's positional data (x and y coordinates) and the ball were captured at 25 fps and processed to create heatmaps that illustrated the shooting opportunities that were available in the first and second half in different field areas.

- This study analyzes passing opportunities for a football team using positional data from five competitive matches, creating polygons to visualize pass availability.
- Passes are classified into three types: penetrative, support, and backward, with corresponding heatmaps generated for each match to highlight their threats to the opposing defense.
- The study reveals significant variations in passing opportunities over time, particularly noting that penetrative passes were available for shorter durations compared to support and backward passes, emphasizing the complex dynamics during matches.
