Competition snapshot
The aggregate record provides the baseline, but the figures do not all describe the same event. Goals measure scoring; outcomes describe results; PEN and AET describe decision status.
| Measure | Count | Share of 126 matches |
|---|---|---|
| Completed matches | 126 | 100.0% |
| Goals | 403 | Not applicable |
| Draws | 16 | 12.7% |
| Home wins | 30 | 23.8% |
| Away wins | 80 | 63.5% |
| One-goal decisions | 54 | 42.9% |
| PEN-status matches | 11 | 8.7% |
| AET-status matches | 11 | 8.7% |
The outcome counts add to 126: 16 draws plus 30 home wins plus 80 away wins. As shares of that denominator, they are 12.7%, 23.8% and 63.5%, respectively. The 54 one-goal decisions are a separate result measure, so their 42.9% share is not added to the outcome percentages.
What the goal total measures
The 403 goals across 126 completed matches amount to approximately 3.2 goals per match. That is a scoring average, not a decision-method count. PEN-status and AET-status are therefore analysed separately from goals; the goal total alone cannot say how a match's tie decision was recorded.
Penalty and extra-time status by round
The round-level picture that can be stated without estimation is shown below. Each rate uses the number of matches in its own row, keeping the unequal denominators visible.
| Round | Matches (denominator) | PEN-status | PEN rate | AET-status | AET rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st round | 55 | 3 | 5.5% | 4 | 7.3% |
| 2nd round | 28 | 7 | 25.0% | 1 | 3.6% |
| Round of 32 | 16 | 1 | 6.3% | Not stated | Not stated |
| All 126 matches | 126 | 11 | 8.7% | 11 | 8.7% |
The three specified PEN counts—3, 7 and 1—sum to the overall total of 11. The stated AET counts for the 1st and 2nd rounds total 5, leaving 6 of the 11 overall AET statuses outside those two explicitly stated round entries. That residual is not assigned to the round of 32 or any other separate round without a supplied count.
The three named denominators sum to 99 matches. Compared with the competition total of 126, that leaves 27 matches outside the named rows; those matches are not collapsed into a single later-round denominator.
Why denominator size matters
PEN-status comparison
Among the stated round rows, the 2nd round has the largest PEN-status count, with 7, compared with 3 in the 1st round and 1 in the round of 32. The corresponding denominators are 28, 55 and 16, producing rates of 25.0%, 5.5% and 6.3%.
The round of 32 illustrates why counts and rates must be read together. It has fewer PEN-status matches than the 1st round, but 1/16 produces a higher observed rate than 3/55. A raw count alone would miss that denominator effect.
AET-status comparison
The stated AET figures are 4/55, or 7.3%, in the 1st round and 1/28, or 3.6%, in the 2nd. The round-of-32 AET count is not stated, so no AET rate is calculated for that row. Across all 126 matches, the AET-status rate is 11/126, or 8.7%.
These are descriptive proportions. They show how the recorded rates differ across the stated denominators, but they do not show that the round stage caused a difference. An observed association between round and status is not proof of causation.
Goals, outcomes and tie-decision status
The central analytical distinction is between what happened on the scoreboard and how a tie decision is classified. The figures should be kept in separate measures.
Keep the measures separate
- Goals: 403 is the reported match-goal total.
- Outcomes: 16 draws, 30 home wins and 80 away wins describe the recorded result split.
- One-goal decisions: 54 matches carry this reported result description.
- Decision status: 11 PEN-status and 11 AET-status matches are separate tie-decision status counts.
None of these totals is a substitute for another. The 403-goal total cannot be used to infer a PEN or AET rate, and the 54 one-goal decisions cannot be used to infer the tie-decision method. The two status totals are also reported separately rather than added to the goal or outcome totals.
Method and coverage
Counting convention
The overall denominator is 126 completed matches. For each quantified round, the denominator is the number of matches in that round: 55 for the 1st round, 28 for the 2nd and 16 for the round of 32. A round-level status rate is the relevant status count divided by that round's match count.
| Element | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Overall denominator | 126 completed matches. |
| Round denominator | Matches in that round: 55, 28 and 16 for the stated rounds. |
| PEN rate | PEN-status count divided by the relevant round denominator. |
| AET rate | AET-status count divided by the relevant round denominator where the count is stated. |
| Rounding | Percentages are shown to one decimal place, with numerator and denominator retained in the analysis. |
| Other rounds | Separate round counts are not replaced by a combined denominator. |
For competition context, see the Copa del Rey competition page. The three named round rows account for 99 matches, leaving 27 outside them in the overall total. That residual is a coverage check, not a new round: the other round counts remain separate.
Limitations
Coverage boundary
The figures used here do not state the AET count for the round of 32 or the individual status breakdown of the other separate rounds. Consequently, no AET rate is shown for the round of 32 and no combined rate is constructed for the other rounds. A not-stated value is not treated as zero.
Interpretive boundary
The 11 PEN-status and 11 AET-status totals are reported separately. Because no overlap count is supplied, they are not converted into 22 unique matches. The round rates are observations within the covered match record, not evidence that competition stage caused a decision-method difference. The same caution applies to attempts to connect goals, outcomes or one-goal decisions to a specific status.
Five-question FAQ
How many completed matches are covered?
The record covers 126 completed matches: 80 away wins, 30 home wins and 16 draws.
What was the goal total?
There were 403 goals, which is approximately 3.2 goals per completed match when divided by 126. This is a scoring average, not a count of PEN or AET decisions.
Which stated round had the highest PEN rate?
The 2nd round had the highest rate among the stated round rows: 7/28, or 25.0%. The 1st round was 3/55, or 5.5%, and the round of 32 was 1/16, or 6.3%.
What is known about AET status by round?
There were 11 AET-status matches overall. The stated round figures identify 4 in the 1st round and 1 in the 2nd; the round-of-32 AET count and the individual AET counts for other separate rounds are not stated.
Are goals, one-goal decisions, PEN and AET the same measure?
No. Goals measure scoring, one-goal decisions describe a separate result measure, and PEN and AET are tie-decision status counts. The measures should be read separately, and their round-level differences do not prove causation.
