GOAL GOAL GOAL 
What is the only thing that makes the game of football very interesting and overwhelming? What makes the game so irresistible that people want to forget about all their doubts and worries and go for watching the game either on TV or to the ground? Of course it is the goal that is scored in the matches being played. It is the goal which can change the whole complexion of the game. A goal can bring joy or sorrow to a spectator in an instant and therefore it acts as the turning point of the football match. 
 Last Minute Goal 
When a goal in scored in the dying seconds of the match, it is known as the last minute goal. Very often it changes the whole complexion of the game when a team scoring the penultimate goal. The importance of the last minute goal lies in the fact that the team scoring the goal may lead to equalize the scores in the match. It may also be such that the team scoring the last minute goal can win the match (in the injury time of the game). 
It is the coach who becomes the happiest to see his team score the winning goal in the dying seconds of the match. 
 First half goals 
The teams who score the goals in the first half of the game, ends the first 45 minutes with confidence because of their scoring. This gives them the confidence to do well in the second half. Also in a match, there may be many goals in the first half itself. In that case, the team scoring the last goal (in the half) seems to go inside the dressing room with slightly more confidence. But an equal number of goals in the first half makes the game interesting and suspense moves over the whole stadium keeping the spectators in awe (as they think about the upcoming result). 
This is the reason that the coach of every team ask their players to try their best in trying to score first half goals. It also gives the coach as respite from planning a different strategy for the match 
 Goal Difference 
This concept in the game of football is important in the context of the game. Usually in several competitions, there are two rounds of a match being played by the two teams (each team plays a home match). The importance of goal difference lies in the fact that the team having the most number of goals, qualifies to the next round of the competition. Therefore the teams don't take it lightly. 
 It is the goals which gives a direction to the game and sets up challenges for both the players and the coach. After the team concedes a goal, the coach is often seen taking a second strategy (which every coach usually plans for every game). The football match which ends in a goalless draw is not seen well by the spectators as they come to the stadium expecting a goal.
