Own Goal Phenomenon or Isolated Cases
The 2026 World Cup has seen an unprecedented increase in own goals, with the tournament so far recording seven goal-in-own goals, surpassing the total of five in the 2022 edition. The phenomenon particularly benefits the United States team, which benefited from two own goals in two consecutive matches. The reason is attributed to the development of attacking and pressing strategies from the wings, increasing the likelihood of defensive errors. This phenomenon reflects changes in modern football tactics, with expectations of new metrics for own goals emerging in the future.
