Few And Far Between Meaning

(idiomatic) Rare and scarce.

Example: 2010 December 29, Mark Vesty, “Wigan 2 - 2 Arsenal”[1], BBC:
  The gear change never happened and although chances were few and far between in the second half it looked like below-par Arsenal would escape the DW Stadium with three points - especially when N'Zogbia was sent off with 12 minutes to play.
