Soccer APIs – Team Own Goals in Additional Endpoints

We've added team-level own_goals to additional endpoints in our Soccer and Soccer Extended APIs. Player-level own_goals was already available; this update surfaces the same attribute at the team level in season and match statistics.

Soccer API

own_goals is now included in team statistics on the Seasonal Competitor Statistics endpoint.

Soccer Extended API

own_goals is now included in team statistics on the Seasonal Competitor Statistics, Sport Event Summary, and Sport Event Timeline endpoints.
This attribute was already available in team statistics on the Seasonal Competitor Extended Statistics and Sport Event Extended Summary endpoints.

⭐ Benefit

Track team-level own goals directly from team statistics blocks — without aggregating from individual player entries — for more accurate team stats displays and season-long own-goal counts.

📋 Recommended Actions

Read own_goals from team statistics blocks on the affected endpoints, rather than aggregating from individual player statistics.
The attribute is present in team statistics on Seasonal Competitor Statistics (Soccer and Soccer Extended), and Sport Event Summary and Sport Event Timeline (Soccer Extended). Player-level own_goals continues to be available as before.
Update team-level own-goal displays and season totals to source the value from the team stats directly.
Soccer Extended customers already reading own_goals from Seasonal Competitor Extended Statistics or Sport Event Extended Summary need no changes for those endpoints — the same attribute now appears in the additional endpoints listed above.
