thanks i have got it working now, my reaming problem is only 1 to separate home and away team scores (results)

teams results are in "competitors":[{}]

"competitors":[
{
"id":"379",
"homeAway":"home",
"score":"0",
"records":[
{
"name":"All Splits"
}
],
"team":{
"id":"379",
"name":"Burnley",
"links":[
{
"rel":[
"clubhouse"
],
"isHidden":false
},
{
"rel":[
"stats"
],
"isHidden":false
},
{
"rel":[
"schedule"
],
"isHidden":false
},
{
"rel":[
"squad"
],
"isHidden":false
}
],
"venue":{
"id":"197"
}
},
"statistics":[
{
"name":"appearances"
}
]
},

# Here is next curly braces for away team

{
"id":"364",
"homeAway":"away",
"score":"3",
"records":[
{
"name":"All Splits"
}
],
"team":{
"id":"364",
"name":"Manchester City",
"links":[
{
"rel":[
"clubhouse"
],
"isHidden":false
},
{
"rel":[
"stats"
],
"isHidden":false
},
{
"rel":[
"schedule"
],
"isHidden":false
},
{
"rel":[
"squad"
],
"isHidden":false
}
],
"venue":{
"id":"192"
}
},
"statistics":[
{
"name":"appearances"
}
]
}
],

Now i need some magic to separate curly braces for each team results and output this

90'+7': Burnley scored 0 status: 0
90'+7': Manchester City scored 3 status: 0

This is my working code

for my $match (@{$parse_json->{'events'}}) {
    my $elapsed   = $match->{competitions}[0]{status}{displayClock};
    my $status   = $match->{competitions}[0]{wasSuspended}; # 0 false 
+/ 1 true | "wasSuspended":false,
    my $home     = $match->{competitions}[0]{competitors}[0]{'team'}{n
+ame};
    my $away     = $match->{competitions}[0]{competitors}[0]{'team'}{n
+ame};
    my $home_score = $match->{competitions}[0]{competitors}[0]{score};
    my $away_score = $match->{competitions}[0]{competitors}[0]{score};
    
    print "$elapsed: $home scored $home_score status: $status";
}

Is the home team always listed first, and the away team second?

The second element of an array is at index position 1.

So maybe

    my $home     = $match->{competitions}[0]{competitors}[0]{'team'}{n
+ame};
    my $away     = $match->{competitions}[0]{competitors}[1]{'team'}{n
+ame};
    my $home_score = $match->{competitions}[0]{competitors}[0]{score};
    my $away_score = $match->{competitions}[0]{competitors}[1]{score};

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

thank you so much, its working
