Including final result after extra time/penalty shooutout in API

Hey,

I am using the following endpoint to get all matches and results for EURO 2024:
https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/API-KEY/eventsseason.php?id=4502&s=2024

The game England vs Switzerland (id: 2084924) is listed with the result 1:1. However, this is only the result after 90 minutes. The game continued into extra time and a penalty shootout, with the final result being 5:3 for England.

Is it possible to add this additional information to the API? The current 1:1 result is misleading.

Thank you!

PS: Or is it at least possible that the V2 will have this information?

Sure anyone can edit the strResult field to add penalty details.

Okay, but there is no automatic solution for this? I mean the normal results are also not all updated manually, aren't they?

No automation on penalties sorry other than timeline, but anyone can update when they happen.

Normal scores are automated.

Yes because the official score was 1:1 at the end of the match.

Penalties are not counted on the final score. Hence why we use the strResult field instead.
