When do goals really happen in Queensland football?
Across 7,083 reliably timed goals, the closer a match gets to full-time, the more dangerous it becomes.

THE PATTERN
The goal threat keeps building
Queensland football does not spread its goals evenly across 90 minutes. The opening quarter-hour is the quietest period in the dataset, while the final 15 minutes are comfortably the busiest.
That makes the clock itself part of the story. As matches move deeper into the second half, the scoring rate rises — and for some clubs, late goals have become a defining part of their attack.
THE GOAL PULSE
Six windows. One clear direction.
FIRST HALF44.7%
→
SECOND HALF55.3%
The increase is not perfectly linear, but the overall direction is clear. The match becomes more productive as it progresses, with the biggest jump arriving in the final quarter-hour.
THE HOT MINUTES
The four busiest normal regulation minutes
45' and 90' are excluded because the source can fold stoppage-time goals into those values.
Three of the four busiest normal regulation minutes sit in the final 20 minutes, reinforcing the broader late-game trend.
NEWMARKET · FQPL 3 METRO
No club has scored more goals from 76–90.
