Common questions about 5-a-side scoreboards
Setting up, scoring, and sharing a 5-a-side turf match from your phone.
What is a 5-a-side scoreboard?
A 5-a-side scoreboard is a live score tracker for small-sided football on turf or small pitches. Score My Match lets you create one in 30 seconds - no app download, no account - and share a link so people not at the ground follow every goal in real time.
How does the match time work for 5-a-side?
The 5-a-side format is set to 45 minutes total across two 22.5-minute halves. The scorer page has a Halftime button and a Full Time button. The match clock tracks both halves so viewers always know where in the game you are.
Can I keep up with a fast 5-a-side match?
Yes. Goals and cards use large one-tap controls, so you can update the scoreboard quickly without registering players or navigating through several screens.
How many goals are usually scored in a 5-a-side match?
5-a-side is typically high-scoring, although the total depends on the teams and the game. The small pitch and fast tempo mean chances come quickly, which is exactly why a live scoreboard helps: there is usually something to update.
Can I run two 5-a-side matches back-to-back in one turf booking?
Yes. Create a separate match for each game, it takes under 30 seconds each. Every match gets its own viewer link, so your WhatsApp group can follow both games without mixing up the scores.
Can I share the live score in a WhatsApp group?
Yes. After creating the match you get a public viewer link. Drop it into your WhatsApp group before kick-off and everyone who taps it follows the live score without logging in or downloading anything.
Do viewers need to create an account to follow the score?
No. The viewer link is fully public and read-only. Anyone with the link sees the live score - no login, no download, no sign-up required.
Can I track which player scored a goal?
Yes, optionally. When you log a goal you can add a player name, but it is never required. If you are in the middle of the game and just want to record the goal quickly, tap the button and move on. If you do add a name, you can also credit an assist or mark the goal as a penalty or an own goal, and viewers get a scorers list showing goals, assists, and the minutes they went in.
What happens if a 5-a-side match finishes level?
If the scores are level at full time you can settle it on penalties. Tap Scored or Missed after each kick and your group watches the shootout live, dot by dot, with the final result reading something like "Reds won 4-3 on penalties".
Does it work for 7-a-side or 11-a-side too?
Yes. You can also choose 7-a-side (60 min, two 30-minute halves) or 11-a-side (90 min) when creating a match. The same simple experience, with the right duration built in for each format.
Is the 5-a-side scoreboard free?
Yes, completely free. No credit card, no subscription, no account required. Score My Match is free for all local and turf football matches.
