The ‘Eurolocura’ is pulverizing scoring records. The edition of the 11 venues, the one with comebacks, extensions and surprises, is also the highest-scoring event in history. So far, 135 goals have been scored in 48 games, that is, a very high average of 2.81 per game. The semifinals and the final remain to be able to continue expanding these data.
The ease of seeing the door in this European Championship has far exceeded that of five years ago, that of France 2016. Then 108 goals were scored in 51 games (2.12 on average). With three games still to be played, the current edition has already scored 27 goals from the previous one. They are the only two European Cups played with 24 countries, so they serve as an exact comparison.
The search for the goal in the tournament is being so spectacular that there was no 0-0 either in the round of 16 or in the quarterfinals. All teams have shown an offensive character even in the knockout rounds, in which historically they have always been played with more caution.
According to statistics, a goal is scored every 32 minutes in the tournament. The stage in which the most goals are scored is the first quarter of an hour of the second half, specifically from minute 46 to 60 of the match. Spain is the team that has scored the most goals, a total of 12 in five games. That is to say, it goes out to more than two per game -and that started the tournament with a 0-0-. Denmark and Italy, with 11 goals, follow in the scoring statistics.
In the top scorers section, Cristiano and Schick are tied with five goals, although the Portuguese appears ahead in the Golden Boot, having also given an assist. So far there have been 78 different scorers and 10 own goals have been scored, two other records that have been broken in the current European Championship, the most prolific in history.
