MLS: Record When Scoring First Goal
So what's the record of MLS teams who score the first goal? I thought it seemed higher in this year, and after looking up this year's numbers so far, I decided to do the rest. Can't really do the shootout era games because they don't list games that went into shootouts, just the win/loss record. Records 2000: 130-28-23 2001: 102-28-21 2002: 93-25-18 2003: 85-24-30 2004: 88-16-33 2005: 71-9-19 Team Scoring First Win Pct 2000: 71.8% 2001: 67.5% 2002: 68.3% 2003: 61.2% 2004: 64.2% 2005: 71.7% Scoreless Games 2000: 11/192 = 5.7% 2001: 7/158 = 4.4% 2002: 4/140 = 2.9% 2003: 11/150 = 7.3% 2004: 13/150 = 8.6% 2005: 8/107 = 7.5% |
