A major enhancement to the Event Viewer is now available, enabling deeper and more precise match analysis than before. With the introduction of 198 event types, the Event Viewer now provides broader insight into on-ball actions and allows more detailed evaluation. These updates significantly strengthen the analytical value of the Event Viewer while keeping the interface intuitive and efficient.
Broader event coverage for richer insights
The Event Viewer now includes 198 event types instead of the previous set of approximately 50. This expanded coverage provides a more complete overview of passing actions, defensive moments, goalkeeper actions etc.
Many actions now distinguish between successful and unsuccessful outcomes, for example passes and crosses. Allowing more precise interpretation of player decisions and match flow.
A full glossary of all available event types can be found in this article.
Clearer interpretation of multi-layered actions
Previously, each match action in the Event Viewer was represented by a single event. Now, a single action can contain multiple underlying events. For example, what was once shown only as an “assist” may now also include a successful pass or a middle-long pass as part of the same action.
All underlying events linked to an action can be explored in more detail:
Pitch view: hover over or click on an event to open the information square, which lists all underlying events for that moment.
Table view: hover over the +number circle in the events column to see the full list of events attached to that action.
This update gives a richer and more transparent view of what happened during each action.
Categories
The Event Viewer now uses a fixed set of event categories to provide a clearer and more consistent visual experience. Every event shown on the pitch is assigned a color based on its category:
Finishing
Defending
Passing
Dribbling
Receptions
Retention
Goalkeeping
Set pieces
All events belonging to the same category share the same color, even if they represent different underlying event types. The legend displays each category along with the total number of events within that category currently visible in the view.
