2016-2017 MATCH ANALYSIS OF CORNER KICKS USED IN THE TURKCELL SUPER LEAGUE
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the differences of corner kicks of home and away teams. In this study, a total of 30 randomly selected matches from 2016 - 2017 Turgay Şeren Season Turkcell Super League teams were analyzed. Corner kicks used by the home and away teams in the study were examined by dividing the penalty area into 6 regions in order to find the danger zone. The differences between the direction of the corner kicks that home and away teams used (right,left),the player with whom the ball meets in the penalty area(goalkeeper, defence, striker), and the result of the attack (goal, out, corner kick, suspension, keep) parameters were studied. The matches were tallied manually and analyzed by the same researcher. For the statistical analysis of the data obtained Whitney U Test was used and to analyze the data SPSS 21,0 software was used. As a result of the study it can be inferred that there is no statistically significant difference between the direction of the corner kicks that home and away teams used (right,left), the player with whom the ball meets in the penalty area(goalkeeper, defence, striker), and the result of the attack (goal, out, corner kick, suspension, keep) parameters. Amongst the corner kicks that hit the areas 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 there is no statistically significant difference, but only the corner kicks that hit the 3rd area had a statistically significant difference for the benefit of the away team. (p < 0.05). As a result, one can suggest that the away team uses the front target zone with the largest angle more often in order to score by using a corner kick.
