Summary/Abstract: Bulgaria is a country that participates in all UEFA and FIFA tournaments and has historically had serious successes. The country is a regular participant in the preliminary rounds of UEFA tournaments, and PFC “Levski” Sofia and PFC “Ludogorets” Razgrad are the only clubs that can also boast of participation in the groups of the Champions League. In the second most powerful tournaments in Europe - the Europa League and the Conference Cup - PFC “Levski”, PFC “CSKA”, PFC “Ludogorets”, and PFC “Litex” have taken part in the group phase in the last 15 years. PFC "Levski" Sofia has won the national championship 26 times and the "Bulgarian Cup" 27 times, making it the most successful club in the country. PFC "Ludogorets" won 12 championship titles in a row and 3 "Bulgarian Cups". In order to fully reveal the role of scored goals in football and how they came to be realized in the Bulgarian championship and the tournament for the "Bulgarian Cup", we will analyze all the goals of the champion of Bulgaria - PFC "Ludogorets" (Razgrad) and the winner of "Bulgarian Cup" - PFC "Levski" (Sofia) for the 2021/2022 season. The both teams scored a total of 115 goals in the opponents' nets. The aim of the present study is to record, compare and establish the type, frequency, and manner of scoring of all the goals of the teams that won honors during the year. Significant differences were found in the frequency, periods of play in which the teams scored goals, the finishing shot, the assist zone, and other important indicators in the attack phase before the most important action of the game took place. The key 'Zone 14' in front of the opponent's goal is clearly highlighted, contributing to all the dangerous moments leading to accurate play when finishing the attack. The role of the set-pieces in the attacking phase of both investigated teams, supporting the final ranking and achieving high results, is clearly emphasized.
