  • Abstract
    I model a scoring situation that arises frequently during soccer matches. The Nash equilibrium solution is shown to be broadly consistent with the conventional wisdom of experts. Data on goals scored over an entire season in Italyʹs soccer league provide statistical support for a prediction of the modelʹs Nash equilibrium.
