Penalty shootout

I think the API should provide separate data for penalty shootouts. Take yesterday's Atletico vs. Real match as an example. The score was 2-2 in regular/extra time and 3-4 in penalties, but the API only shows the total sum (5-6). It would be great if these could be split so we can display it like this in our projects: 2-2 (3:4)

Resolution: The penalty_shootout field already exists in the API (EventSerializer). For any match that went to penalties, the API returns penalty_shootout: {home: X, away: Y}. Verified with Atletico Madrid vs Rea

I still think there’s a bug here. The main match ended 2-2, but the JSON shows 5-6. Other sports APIs display the regular score plus penalties, like (3) 2:2 (4). In our API, if you enable penalties, it shows (3) 5:6 (4). I know I could just subtract the goals manually to get the main result, but I think the API should have it properly structured, like this:
"home_score": 2,
"away_score": 2,
"penalty_shootout": {
"home": 3,
"away": 4
}"
