End of goalless draws transforms Italian football
The start of the 2026-2027 season in La Liga witnessed a unique event: there were no matches that ended in a goalless draw during the first four rounds of both the first and second divisions, setting an unprecedented record in Italian football history, according to Opta. This is attributed to the implementation of refereeing changes aimed at increasing playing time and reducing stoppages, which led to higher goal rates and an improved attacking level. In fact, the fourth round saw 39 goals scored, averaging 3.9 goals per match — the highest in recent years — amid growing discussions about the impact of these modifications on the level of competition.
