Hola Oluboytech,

Thanks for reporting this. I need to dig into what's happening with substitution data. A few quick questions to help me track this down:

1. **Which match(es)?** Give me an event ID or date/teams so I can check the incidents.
2. **Where are you checking?** The `/api/live/` endpoint (during the match) or `/api/events/{id}/` (after it ends)?
3. **What endpoint are you using?** Full response or just looking at lineups?

Incidents (goals, subs, cards) are in the `incidents` array on `/api/live/` and `/api/events/`. Substitutions should show both the outgoing player (`player_name`) and incoming player (`replacement_player`) — if the incoming player is missing, that's definitely a bug.

Send me the event ID and I'll check our data immediately.
