Note: Zone 1 (0.1–23 6 km/h), Zone 2 (6.1–12 km/h), Zone 3 (12.1–18 km/h), Zone 4 (18.1–21 km/h), Zone 5 (21.1–24 km/h), and Zone 6 (above 24 24.1 km/h). The boxplots (**A–G**) depict the distribution of distance covered across intensity zones and total distance between halves, highlighting within-position differences in physical performance across the match. Mean values were used for all variables in the visualizations. Statistically significant differences between halves were observed as follows: Central Defenders (CD) showed an increase in Zone 1 and decreases in Zones 3 and 4; Forwards (F) exhibited a reduction in Zone 4; Side Midfielders (SM) decreased in Zone 2; Central Midfielders (CM) increased in Zone 1 and decreased in Zones 2, 3, 4, and 5. For CMs, no significant change was found in total distance covered (t = 1.11, \(p\) = 0.286). However, significant increases occurred in Z1 (t = \(-\)3.36, \(p\) = 0.005), in Z2 (t = 2.63, \(p\) = 0.021), in Z3 (t = 3.40, \(p\) = 0.005), in Z4 (t = 2.81, \(p\) = 0.015), and in Z5 (t = 2.57, \(p\) = 0.023). A marginal decrease was also observed in Z6 (Z = \(-\)1.98, \(p\) = 0.048). These results may indicate substantial second-half reductions in moderate and high-intensity activity among CM players (Table 3 and Figure 5). For Fs, no significant difference in total distance between halves (t = 0.651, \(p\) = 0.561) was found.
