Player statistics

GET /v1/matches/{id}/players

Every player's figures for one match: minutes, rating, goals, shots, passes, tackles, cards

Every player who appeared, for both sides: minutes, rating, goals, assists, shots and shots on target, passes, key passes and pass accuracy, tackles, blocks, interceptions, duels, dribbles, fouls, cards, offsides and penalties, with whether the player started and wore the armband. Each player carries a player_id that stays the same across matches, so a player's season can be built from these. Held where the competition publishes them.
