How it works

From a recorded match to reviewable evidence

The first breakdown is fully automatic. No manual tagging is needed to get started.

  1. 01

    Upload the footage

    Add the match recording with team and kit information so each side can be told apart.

  2. 02

    Track and identify

    The system tracks visible players and ball movement, identifies teams, and builds a breakdown of the action.

  3. 03

    Review against moments

    Check statistics and the draft report against the moments they were built from.

  4. 04

    Follow the evidence

    Open a reference in the report and watch the recorded passages behind the observation.

The analysis

Explore the actual match workspace

Follow BKV Norrtälje vs Uppsala Kurd through recorded moments, team statistics, player profiles and the match report. This 49:35 recording covers the second half; times start at video 00:00.

Moments

Per-second observations are grouped into recorded actions, so you can go from a pass, recovery or shot straight to the footage behind it.

  • Original, annotated and closer views of each moment
  • Goals and shots get a focused review; goals shown publicly are estimates
  • Action totals are calculated from recorded actions and linked to supporting moments
Choose Recoveries, filter to BKV Norrtälje, then select a moment to watch the recorded action.

Stats

Compare the teams’ recorded shots, passes, recoveries and other actions. Select a total in the app to inspect the moments behind it.

  • Team comparisons alongside individual player contributions
  • Estimated possession, with clear and unclear coverage available
  • Totals reflect recorded actions, not an official match record
Click estimated possession to expand clear, unclear and contested coverage.

Players

Players are attributed by team and kit, and by shirt number only where it is readable. Tracker identities are merged, and some uncertainty can remain.

  • Player-follow view to watch one player through a sequence
  • Involvement in recorded actions where identity allows
  • Where an identity is unclear, review the linked moments behind it
Click a player card, choose Watch this player, and follow their highlight through the moving footage.

Report

A draft tactical report covers both teams in and out of possession, transitions and set pieces, written from the recorded evidence.

  • Possession is estimated, with clear, unclear and contested coverage
  • Spatial maps appear only where tracking evidence supports them
  • Each observation can be checked against supporting moments
Click a video reference in the report to watch the supporting passage, with the analysis kept in view.

Technical understanding

How Pelayar reads your match

Pelayar combines player tracking with visual analysis of the action. It turns what is visible in your recording into moments, player involvement and a match report you can check against the footage.

Three separate readings of the same footage. One can be clear while another is still uncertain.

Illustration: during one passage, each reading can be clear (solid) or uncertain (hatched) at different moments.
  • Following a player

    Pelayar detects visible players and connects their movement through each sequence. Team colours, appearance and readable numbers help link separate sequences to the same player. Crossings, players blocking each other, camera cuts or leaving the view can break that link, so one player may appear in several sequences and identities are sometimes mixed.

  • Reading a shirt number

    A player can be followed without a readable number. Tracking references stay behind the scenes, so only shirt numbers the footage supports appear on screen. Watch this player highlights the selected player where tracking is available; a missing highlight means tracking is unavailable in that view, not that they left the pitch.

  • Understanding the action

    Play-by-play examines ball movement and the visible action around it to identify passes, recoveries, shots and other moments. An action can count for a team without being linked to one player. That adds context when identity is uncertain, though it cannot always reconnect a broken player link.

Goals get a closer look

Attempts receive a closer review around the action and the goalmouth. A celebration or restart alone is not treated as proof, and a small, hidden or off-screen ball can leave the outcome unresolved. Goals remain AI estimates.

From action totals to footage

Action totals are counted from recorded moments. The report draws on those moments and links observations back to clips, so you can inspect the supporting footage.

Possession and pitch maps

Possession is estimated from observed control, with unclear or contested periods kept separate. Pitch maps need usable tracking and visible field markings, so coverage varies. Neither is an official statistic or exact measurement.

What helps your footage

A stable, elevated view, distinct kits and readable numbers help most. Small far-side players, blur, crowding, cuts and similar kits make it harder. Zoom brings the action closer but cannot add detail the recording never captured.

Your footage

What to bring, and what to expect

A full match or a selected sequence both work, as long as the recording is readable.

Works best with

  • An existing recording of a match or a chosen sequence
  • A wide, stable view with players, ball and field visible
  • Legible shirt numbers, where you want number-level attribution

Good to know

  • AI-generated analysis may miss or misattribute actions, so review cited moments
  • Possession is estimated from clear observed control
  • Spatial maps appear only where coverage supports them

Questions

Before you upload

Do I need a special camera?

No. Use the footage you already have. A wide, stable view where players, ball and field are visible gives the analysis the most to work with.

How do I get started?

Choose Analyze soccer video, sign in to Pelayar and upload your recording with the team and kit details.

What output do I get?

Recorded moments, player involvement, action totals calculated from those moments, estimated possession and a match report covering both teams. Open the linked clips to check the analysis.

Do I need an account to watch the demo?

No. Watch the demo on this page without an account. Sign in when you are ready to upload and analyse your own recording.

Are these official statistics?

No. Totals come from AI-detected recorded actions, and goals are estimates. Treat them as a starting point and check them against the footage.
