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.
The 5-a-side format is set to 45 minutes total across two 22-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.
5-a-side is typically high-scoring — anywhere from 4 to 15 goals a side is common, depending on the group. The small pitch and fast tempo mean chances come quickly, which is exactly why a live scoreboard makes sense: there is always something to update.
