What is "goal difference"?
Goal difference in soccer is the difference between the number of goals a team has scored and the number of goals it has let in during a competition. It is often used as a tiebreaker when teams have the same number of points in the standings. A positive goal difference means the team has scored more goals than it has let in, while a negative goal difference means the opposite. It helps determine which team performed better overall in terms of scoring and defending.
Example
Our team won the league due to a superior goal difference.
The tiebreaker was decided by goal difference after both teams drew in points.
They finished second because their goal difference was better than ours.
