matches %>% filter(tournament_id == "women") %>% mutate(winner = case_when( home_goals > away_goals ~ home_team, away_goals > home_goals ~ away_team, TRUE ~ "Draw" )) %>% left_join(teams, by = c("winner" = "team")) %>% filter(winner != "Draw") %>% count(confederation, sort = TRUE) %>% mutate(win_pct = n / sum(n))
