This dataset contains a detailed record of international football (soccer) match goals and outcomes spanning from 1872 to 2022. Each row represents a goal scored in a match, with information about the date, home and away teams, scoring team, player (scorer), match minute, and whether the goal was an own goal or penalty. The dataset is goal-level (not just match-level), meaning matches with multiple goals appear as multiple rows. This structure enables a deeper analysis of trends, such as penalty frequency, average goal times, and the contributions of individual players
