The 5- and 15-minute windows

Much of the panel answers the same question: what has just happened? “Last 5′” and “last 15′” are those windows. They exist because the match total hides change: 6 shots on target at 70 minutes can be six spread out or three in the last ten.

The clock is the match clock

Fifteen minutes of window are fifteen minutes of the match clock, not fifteen minutes of the wall clock. Half time does not count: nobody shoots in the dressing room, and a wall-clock window would start the second half full of zeros that say nothing.

Two families of window

The numbers with a window do not all come from the same place, and the difference shows exactly at the start of each half.

The windows that arrive ready-made

On target (5′ and 15′), Shots (15′), Corners (15′) and the dangerous attacks of the last 5 and 15 minutes in the match detail. Acceleration is calculated on top of them. These windows never reach back before the whistle of the current half: at the start of each half they are incomplete.

The windows calculated here

Pressure (15′) and the “Goals scored (5′)” and “Goals scored (15′)” fields in rules. These cross half time: just after the restart, they still count the end of the first half.

In practice: at 50 minutes, Pressure (15′) still shows the end of the first half, while On target (15′) shows only the five minutes since the restart.

What each one is for

The 5-minute one catches the move, the short sequence, and changes quickly. The 15-minute one shows the trend, and is steadier. When both rise together, the change is holding; when only the 5-minute one rises, it may be a burst that passes.

In the first minutes of each half the ready-made windows do not yet have the length their name promises. That has its own page: why the window is incomplete at the start of each half.
