Description

Possession changing hands, and how. The team that gains the ball gets a ball_win; the team that gives it up gets a ball_loss. The subtype says how it happened, from each side: interception and pass_intercepted, challenge, or recovery and loose_ball. The two counts measure how much the win changes the picture: opponents now behind the ball, and teammates brought into play. Every event has the same envelope fields, including time, frames, player, team, pitch coordinates, phase, team_possession_id, player_possession_id and confidence. See List Game Events. The fields below are specific to this type and are returned in attributes.
