Summary
Summary
Intuition suggests that corner kicks are important in football play, yet questions remain about the impact of corner kicks numbers on match outcomes. This study compares the relevance of corner kicks to shots on target and free kicks. Using 7,368 matches played in the European Big Five and the 2018 FIFA World Cup, we find that both the number of corner kicks and shots on target are significantly associated with match outcomes while free kicks are not.
