Football a match API
A matchOne match in full: both sides, the score, the venue and the officials.
Ask for it by our id, taken from any other football answer. The ids inside the answer each open their own endpoint, so you can follow a record from here to everything it links to.
It needs id. Leave one out and the answer names it, before any data is read.
