19 goals scored in first two matchdays of X1 DOL Super Cup

Away teams have dominated the scoring in the 2026 X1 DOL Super Cup, accounting for 12 of the 19 goals recorded after two matchdays.

Nineteen goals have been recorded following the completion of the first two matchdays of the 2026 X1 Division One League Super Cup. Out of the eight matches played so far, away teams have been the more prolific scorers with 12 goals. Home teams have contributed seven goals to the tournament total.

The results from the opening eight fixtures show a trend of visiting teams performing well. There have been three away victories and only one home win recorded in the competition thus far. The remaining four matches have ended in draws.

Penalty decisions have played a role in the scoring tally, with four penalties awarded during the matches. All four of these spot-kicks were converted by the takers.

This tournament represents the fifth edition of the X1 DOL Super Cup. It serves as a platform for emerging players to demonstrate their skills before the start of the new Division One League season.

The competition also provides a developmental stage for officiating. Young referees from the 'Catch Them Young' program are using the tournament to gain experience and advance their careers within the second tier of football.
