Goals proper.

Before we take a look at the leaders, let’s look at the time periods during which these goals were scored.
Twenty of them, the highest number, were scored between the 16th and 30th minute.
The least, 3 goals, were scored in stoppage time of the first half, while 12 goals have been scored in stoppage time after regular time, one of them being Jude Bellingham’s remarkable bicycle kick, which got both Gareth Southgate and England out of jail.
No surprise! Bellingham was listed as one of the promising players to look out for at Euro 2024.
Two goals have been scored in either half of extra time, one being Mikel Merino’s fabulous header in the 119th minute for Spain, which sent host nation Germany packing.
