Influence of tactical performance over the final score of small-sided soccer matches

The study aimed to examine the influence of tactical performance over the final score of small-sided soccer matches. The sample comprised 32 U-13 level final scores, divided into: 12 wins, 12 defeats and 8 draws. In order to obtain players' tactical performance, 5004 tactical actions were analyzed. FUT-SAT was used for data collection and analysis. The Komolgorov-Smirnov test was used to analyze data distribution and One-Way ANOVA was applied to compare the obtained results, with a significance level of 0.05. Significant differences were found between "Draw" over "Defeat" and "Win". The lower value of Mobility and Offensive Unity may have determined "Win". It is concluded that tactical performance influenced the final scores of "Draw" and "Win".
