Combine dates, ages, clubs, competitions and opponents. Inspect the matching records, honest coverage and a shareable comparison.
Filters combine with AND. Dates are inclusive; July–June seasons and birthday-age windows are separate definitions. The player windows can differ when you compare the same ages. Goals come from the shared ledger; every rate requires a matching archive population.
Venue, tournament stage and penalty exclusions are not complete historical filters yet. We do not silently treat unknown records as non-penalties or league matches. Inspect field coverage.

This is a small primary-source sample, not career penalty/free-kick or finishing totals. “Other” means a verified goal that is neither an in-match penalty nor a direct free kick; it can still follow an assisted set piece. Unclassified goals remain unknown. Goal minutes are regulation minute plus added-time component; match playing minutes are a different field.
