This study aimed to identify which factors could influence scoring first and impact match outcomes in professional European female football. Methods: There were 504 official matches held on 74 match days during the 2018–2019 professional female European football seasons (<i>Primera Iberdrola</i>, <i>D1 Féminine</i>, and <i>Frauen-Bundesliga</i>), analysed using a notational and inferential assessment. Results: There was a direct positive relationship (<i>p</i> < 0.05) between scoring first and winning the match; 75.9% of the winning teams scored first. Moreover, those teams that usually scored first had a better final league classification (<i>p</i> < 0.05). These relationships were not influenced by home or away conditions. Conclusions: Scoring first is a determinant in the outcomes of professional European female football matches. Physical and tactical training and programming should focus on those variables, leading female teams to score first.Patricia Sánchez-MurilloAntonio AntúnezDaniel Rojas-ValverdeSergio J.
