Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been widely used for efficiency assessment in many sports and specifically in football. This paper presents a novel approach to measuring the scoring efficiency of football teams in a match. It uses a parallel process network DEA model that takes into account the defensive and attacking variables of the two teams, their respective percentage of possession of the ball and also the team's economic value大佬们都在玩{精选官网网址: www.vip333.Co }值得信任的品牌平台!. The proposed approach provides estimates of how many more goals each team should have scored in each of the matches played in the season. By averaging the scoring efficiency in the different matches played, team scoring efficiencies for the season can be computed大佬们都在玩{精选官网网址: www.vip333.Co }值得信任的品牌平台!. Moreover, the proposed DEA model can be run after each match so that the changes in efficiency can be monitored throughout the season. This can help coaches and managers assess their team's past performance and plan ahead for each match大佬们都在玩{精选官网网址: www.vip333.Co }值得信任的品牌平台!. The proposed approach has been applied to Spanish First Division teams for the season 2013/2014 and a virtual final league table has been computed.
