“Both scored” requires at least one goal by each team. Scoreless draws are a separate category; they are not treated as a clean sheet by only one team.

At most 5,000 fully scored rows were read from the 90-day window ending at the cutoff. After excluding invalid or future dates, ambiguous identities, conflicts, provisional results, scores explicitly flagged as unconfirmed, and suspended, postponed, cancelled or forfeited games, up to the latest 1,500 valid results per country were retained, one row per provider, event and match. Recorded goals exclude penalty shootouts. Some providers publish scores without a final status; “recorded” does not mean independently confirmed. This is a fixed edition; later profile corrections do not rewrite this publication.
