FBref.com launched (June 13, 2018) with domestic league coverage for England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and United States. Since then we have been steadily expanding our coverage to include domestic leagues from over 40 countries as well as domestic cup, super cup and youth leagues from top European countries. We have also added coverage for major international cups such as the UEFA Champions League and Copa Libertadores.
FBref is the most complete sources for women's football data on the internet. This includes the entire history of the FIFA Women's World Cup as well as recent domestic league seasons from nine countries, including advanced stats like xG for most of those nine.
In collaboration with Opta, we are including advanced analytical data such as xG, xA, progressive passing, duels and more for over twenty competitions. For more information on the expected goals model and which competitions have advanced data, see our xG explainer.
Note that player records are likely not complete for their careers. Players may come from or move to leagues we don't currently cover. This issue will go down over time, as we add new leagues and seasons. We will never in the future have less data than we do today.
For more information, see our Launch Blog Post, the overall leagues/competition page with details on leagues and seasons we include, or our About Page. Let us know if you find an issue or have a suggestion.
A clean sheet is awarded for not conceding a goal while on the pitch and playing at least 60 minutes (excluding injury time). If a player has been substituted when a goal is conceded, this will not affect any clean sheet bonus. Players that have been sent off will be affected.
Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional or unintentional. Intentional means the pass actually created the chance. Unintentional means the player had to dribble the ball or that an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance.
In the event of a penalty or free-kick, the player earning the penalty or free-kick is awarded an assist if a goal is directly scored. However, if the player takes the penalty or free-kick himself and scores, no assist is given.
For more information see the Tackles and Interception sections on the Opta Events Page. We do not count tackles where the opponent retains possession. The ball going out of play is considered a successful tackle.
Another reason the points may differ is due to how tackles are counted. We only count tackles where the player regains possession for his team. If the tackle is made, but the opposition team still has possession after the original player is dispossessed, this is not counted as a successful tackle in our game.
Lastly, if your league uses bonus points, we do not count match winning goals for BPS calculations whereas Fantasy Premier League does. This means goal scorers will score slightly less BPS points which will mean slightly fewer bonus points.
N'Golo Kante scored his first goal for Al Ittihad on Thursday night, and it was an absolute screamer that won them the game. The result saw his new side regain their place at the top of the Saudi Pro League with 18 points from seven games, one point ahead of Al Hilal - who are seen as their biggest challengers.
The French midfielder was one of many Premier League stars to swap the English top flight for a spell in the Middle East, as he joined on a free transfer upon the expiry of his Chelsea contract. Injuries ruined the final couple of years the 32-year-old's time in England after becoming one of the best central midfielders the division has seen.
Winning league titles with Chelsea and Leicester City in his first season with each side show the quality he brought to any team he played for, with a World Cup success in 2018 also at the top of his CV. While Kante was a brilliant player in the engine room, with plenty of energy and technical ability, he was never a prolific goalscorer from the middle of the park.
Kante and his teammates faced an uphill battle after falling a goal behind at home against the team that currently sit in seventh place in the table, but two goals before half-time were enough to turn the game on it's head and wrap up the three points.
The first of those comeback goals came through Brazilian attacker, Romarinho, who drew his side level before witnessing his new teammate score a sensational goal. With the scoreline being level and the half-time break approaching, Kante was quick to latch onto a loose ball at the edge of the penalty area.
His first couple of touches were as good as it gets, as the former Leicester City man skipped past the challenge of the opposition player before setting himself up beautifully to take on the strike. What came next was jaw-dropping as Kante rifled a bullet of a shot into the top corner via the underside of the crossbar.
It was a stunning strike that he celebrated in ice-cold fashion with very little emotion shown after finding the back of the net. His teammates were quick to surround and congratulate him, with many in awe of what they had just seen. The goal was worthy of winning any match, and it did just that as Al Ittihad saw out the win in the second half.
A cup game against Al Kholood is on the horizon for the 32-year-old and his team early next week, before a trip to Al Feiha in the Saudi Pro League only days later. Only a week later than that, there is a big game on the agenda with Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Allan Saint-Maximin making the trip to Al Ittihad with Al-Ahli in a highly anticipated clash.
They have now failed to score in five of their last six games at major international tournaments (European Championship and World Cup), despite having a combined 59 attempts on goal worth 6.85 expected goals (xG) across those matches.
France have now won all five of their major tournament meetings with Belgium (European Championship and World Cup), the joint-best 100% win rate any European nation has against another across those two competitions combined (also Italy versus Austria).
Ronaldo had seven shots worth 1.33 expected goals (xG) in the 120 minutes but simply could not find a way through, breaking down in tears when he had an extra-time penalty repelled by Oblak, who made six saves.
He made more saves in the shoot-out (three) than in the 120 minutes preceding it, though Portugal were also indebted to him for making a huge one-on-one stop from Benjamin Sesko in the second half of extra time.
There was also a piece of history for Pepe, who became the oldest player to feature in a knockout-stage match at a World Cup or European Championship, doing so at the age of 41 years and 126 days to overtake England's Peter Shilton (40 years, 292 days at the 1990 World Cup).
The 25-year-old is on course to win back-to-back Premier League titles after inspiring Leicester City's 5,000/1 triumph last season, and Chelsea's all-time top goalscorer Lampard sees few equals fpr the 32m signing across the globe.
