There are many points to be considered in football lately, from tactical schemes, feedback from fans and especially the moment of greatest emotion: the goal. The objective of this study is an analysis of the goals scored in the Copa America 2019 matches, held in Brazil. Variables that help us understand how goals can be developed tactically, therefore analyzing the part of the body used by the player to score the goal, the athlete's position on the team, in which of the game times there were more goals, the characteristics of goals in still and moving plays, such as the fact of scoring the first goal in the match, influences the final result and also the player's position in the field when finishing to score the goal. It was a quantitative research, analyzing the 26 matches in the competition and the 60 goals scored in it, totaling an average of 2.67 goals per match. It was evident that most of the goals were scored with the right leg, and that the players who scored the goals were attackers, a function of the athlete's profile. It should also be noted that most of the goals with the ball in motion were made without dribbling precedence, while the ball goals were mostly from penalties. It also found that more than half of the teams that start scoring the goal, come out victorious, being the second half of the game or that caused more goals by players who are mostly inside the penalty area at the time of finishing. Therefore, this study serves as a subsidy for soccer professionals and athletes, enabling the study and understanding of tactics and techniques that favor the means for scoring the goal.
