The data file will be updated within a hour after a match is over
Im investigating if I can find a source for doing this automatically and also provice live score
To use the data in your app, you can use this link

Which will be updated
Means its a regular group match
Means it should look at the home_team and away_team fields where the code will be either winner_X or runner_X where X = the group key.
Eg: winner_h means the team will be the winner of the group H. runner_b means the team will be second placed team in the group B.
home_team and away_team will be a integer, meaning it should take the winner of the match.
Eg: home_team = 59 - means the winning team from match 59 will be the home_team
The opposite of the winner key (Only used for 3rd place play-off)
Eg: home_team = 62 means the losing team from match 62 will be the home_team
Each match has a array of channels. The tv channels will be defined in the json file aswell.
Knockout matches can not end in a draw, so therefor a knockout match have the following
"home_result": null,
"away_result": null,
"home_penalty": null,
"away_penalty": null,
"winner": null,
When a match is completed it will look like this
"home_result": 0,
"away_result": 1,
"home_penalty": null,
"away_penalty": null,
"winner": <TEAM ID>,
The "winner" field will have either <TEAM ID>.
If a team wins after overtime, the result will be the same as above.
If a knockout match goes to penalty the result will be
"home_result": 1,
"away_result": 1,
"home_penalty": 5,
"away_penalty": 4,
"winner": <TEAM ID>,
Not very nice, but works - and you can try to see what happens with your expected results
