The present study has the intention of statistically analyzing the number of goals originating from second goalpost moves (which are also known as second post moves or goal); and its secondary objective is to identify the origins of these goals in the professional team of futsal of the Catholic University of Pelotas (UCPel), which was a participant of the State Futsal Championship 2010. To identify the second goalpost goals, the filming of the matches in which the studied team participated were observed. The variables used to shape the origins of the second goalpost goals were: offensive construction 5x4, offensive construction 4x4, set plays (throw in, corner kicks ...) and counterattack. It was observed that, from the total of 13 games of this team that were watched, the players scored 65 goals, and 19 of them were considered second goalpost ones. The team that was being analyzed suffered 40 goals, and 15 of them were considered second goalpost goals. Regarding the origins of the second goalpost goals, 29,4% of the times, the moves started as a counterattack; 29,4%, they started from a 4x4 offensive construction; 20,6%, from a 5x4 offensive construction and 20,6% from a set plays. This study demonstrated that the second goalpost moves are significant in the results of a futsal game. From the observation of the matches it was identified that 33% of the total of analyzed goals were second goalpost ones. This way, we understand that this type of move should receive bigger attention from the technical staffs, both in the offensive actions, as well as in the defensive ones. Key Words: Futsal; Second goalpost goals; Goal; Second goalpost moves. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar quantitativamente o numero de gols oriundos de jogadas de 2a trave (conhecidos tambem como jogadas ou gols de "2 pau") e como objetivo secundario identificar as origens desses gols da equipe profissional de futsal da Universidade Catolica de Pelotas (UCPel), participante do Campeonato Estadual de Futsal de 2010. Para identificar os gols de 2a trave, foram observadas as filmagens dos jogos em que a equipe estudada participou. As variaveis utilizadas para configurar as origens dos gols de 2a trave foram: construcao ofensiva 5x4, construcao ofensiva 4x4, jogadas de bola parada (laterais, escanteios ...) e contra-ataque. Verificou-se que, ao total de 13 partidas observadas da equipe, foram convertidos 65 gols, sendo que 19 foram considerados de 2a trave. Foram sofridos 40 gols pela equipe analisada, e, desses, 15 foram considerados gols de 2a trave. Com relacao as origens dos gols de 2a trave, em 29,4% das vezes, as jogadas sao iniciadas a partir de um contra-ataque; em 29,4%, a partir de uma construcao ofensiva 4x4; em 20,6%, a partir de uma construcao ofensiva 5x4 e em 20,6% sao originadas a partir de uma bola parada. Este estudo demonstrou que as jogadas de 2a trave sao significativas nos resultados de uma partida de futsal. A partir da observacao dos jogos identificou-se que 33% do total de gols analisados foram de 2a trave. Dessa forma, entende-se que esse tipo de jogada deveria receber maior atencao por parte das comissoes tecnicas, tanto nas acoes ofensivas, quanto nas defensivas.
