Mann-Whitney used to prove differences between winning and losing teams with significant value was set at p < 0.05. Shot on target (Z = -3.603, p < 0.05), area shot on target outside penalty box (Z = -3.721, p <0.05), area shot on target goal box (Z = -2.078, p < 0.05). The highest goals scoring was at inside penalty box which were not too near from goal keeper and not too fur from goal post. Area shot on target B (Z = - 2.413, p < 0.05), area shot on target C (Z = -2.992, p < 0.05), area shot on target E (Z = - 2.678, p < 0.05) and area E was the highes shot from the players. Crossing (Z = -2.272, p < 0.05), scoring time 16-30 min (Z = -2.777, p < 0.05), 31-45 min ( Z = -2.749, p < 0.05), 46-60 min (Z = -2. I 74, p < 0.05), 76-90 min (Z = -4.383, p < 0.05) , area goal post A (Z = -2.775, p < 0.05), area goal post C (Z = -1.984, p < 0.05), area goal post D (Z = -3.790, p < 0.05), area goal post E (Z = -3.597, p < 0.05). Area goal post D was the highest goals noted during this toumarnent. The present data can be used by the coaches to conducted the various and specific training program depend on their objectives.
