Cover Story: The temporal dynamics of shot quality in elite football remain poorly understood. This study analyzed advanced shot metrics across match halves and 15 min intervals in elite men’s and women’s UEFA competitions. A total of 4074 shots were examined, restricting analyses to shots on target (men: 775; women: 554), to ensure consistency across expected goals (xG), expected shot impact timing (xSIT), and expected goals on target (xGOT). Mann–Whitney U tests and linear mixed-effects models revealed no significant temporal differences in shot quality (all p > 0.05). Women showed stable shot quality throughout matches. In men, a trivial difference in xG was observed (p = 0.04; d = −0.17). Overall, shot quality remained stable, highlighting the importance of optimizing opportunity creation over shooting execution. View this paper
