Goals scored and conceded, by minute
All Persian Gulf Pro League matches this season: Malavan 8, Tractor Sazi 8.
Tractor Sazi score most often in the 76–90 minute window (4 goals); Malavan have let in 4 there.
Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window. Each side's goals sit above the goals its opponent has let in over the same minutes; the darker the cell, the more goals in that window. Stoppage time counts in the last window of its half. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.
