Note: In the event of a tie for the Golden Boot, awarded to the season’s top goal scorer, the player with the fewest minutes played will be declared the winner. This rule applies after considering assists, which are the first tiebreaker. Suppose two or more players have the same number of goals and assists. In that case, the award will go to the player on the field for the last time throughout the season, highlighting the efficiency and impact per minute played.
