Efficiency & outcomes
Each figure ranked against the 18 teams in the league
01 · Efficiency & outcomes
Over 252 corners in 40 matches, Club Brugge scored 14 times. That is a goal conversion of 5.6%, ranked #1 of 18 against a league average of 3.0%, from an xG per corner of 0.043, #6 of 18.
The rest of the row is what makes it interesting: first contact won is only 15%, #14 of 18, and second balls won 8%, #12. They do not win the first ball often, and they still score more per corner than anyone. For the staff facing them, that points at the delivery and the finish, not at a crowd of bodies.
Shot creation rate across the league
% of corners producing a shot within 7s, best first
02 · League context
Every team in the league on one metric: the share of corners that produce a shot within 7 seconds. Club Brugge sit 8th on 30%, just above a league average of 29%, with Cercle Brugge top on 41% and RFC Seraing bottom on 20%.
Put next to the conversion rank, it is a warning against judging a set-piece team on volume. A side that turns an average number of shots into the league's best return is one you prepare for properly.
Where the ball arrives
Every delivery by where it landed: goal, shot or nothing
03 · Delivery profile
Club Brugge take their corners 50% from each side, inswinging 63% of the time on the 193 of 252 with a known foot, and 23% are played short. The centre is the main target: 96 corners, 31 shots, 5.46 xG and 7 goals. The near post adds 66 corners and 5 goals, the far post 11 corners and none.
Every dot on the pitch is one delivery, coloured by what came of it: 14 led to a goal, 62 to a shot, 176 came to nothing. That is the zone your markers have to own, counted rather than eyeballed. R. Vormer takes 116 of them, N. Lang 40 and A. Skov Olsen 35.
Corner board
Tracked positions around each delivery, play or step through
04 · Corner board
The corner board replays the tracked positions of both teams around each delivery, filterable by side and outcome, with a pitch control layer. This one is 1 of 250: a right corner against RSC Anderlecht on 2022-05-22, 83', R. Vormer outswinging, ending in a shot.
It is where an analyst checks the numbers against the shape. Where each player starts, where he runs and where the space opens as the ball comes in, stepped through one delivery at a time.
Most active runners
Every run per player, out of the 250 corners with tracking
05 · Runners and routines
Out of the 250 corners with tracking, B. Mechele makes a run on 131, usually centre to centre (118×), ahead of H. Vanaken on 110 and S. Nsoki on 105. R. Vormer is the odd one out: 42 runs, usually wide to the near post (27×). Across the season Club Brugge use 21 different routines, and the top one, left side, inswinging to the centre, is only 19%.
So the names are more predictable than the routine. The centre-backs and Vanaken go centre to centre, run after run; what changes is the side and the swing. That is the marking plan, written before the video session.
