Analysis of crosses in the croatian first football league

Based on 88 matches of 2014/2015 first Croatian football league we determined the importance of crosses with regard to final outcome of the match and competition. Using Mann-Whitney test and Pearson coefficient we gathered data that crosses do not pose a significant difference between winning and defeated team (p=0, 38), and they show a medium positive relation to the final placement in league system of competition (r=0, 63). This data points to the necessity of a more quality training of crosses from the position on the field it's kicked from, the direction of the ball going towards the co-player, and the position of co-players who are supposed to make the cross happen.
