The obtained results suggest that the pattern of shots is different between top male and female soccer teams. Male teams took more individual chances to finish the attacks. The individual differences between the players of the two genres can probably explain this behavior, though deeper analysis is needed. The higher precision of the shots in female players was not reflected in a higher goal average due to the differences in strength of the attackers or in the skill of the goalkeepers.
