How do I get data from an array, inside another array?

Imagine that you have the array stored in a variable called $array, so you should access the first position of the array where it is located goalscoreras follows:

$goalscorer = $array[0]["goalscorer"];

This way we get the array goalscorer.

Later we can go through each object of the array with a loop foreach:

foreach($goalscorer as $goal){
    echo $goal["time"];
    echo $goal["home_scorer"];
    echo $goal["score"];
    echo $goal["away_scorer"];
}

Always remember that arrays are defined in JSON using square brackets []and each of the objects defined in an array using curly braces {}.

Since it is an array in JSON format, you must first decode it to an array that PHP can use as follows:

$startArray = json_decode('[{
                        "match_id":"119596",
                        "country_id":"169",
                        "country_name":"England",
                        "league_id":"62",
                        "league_name":"Premier League",
                        "match_date":"2016-10-30",
                        "match_status":"FT",
                        "match_time":"18:00",
                        "match_hometeam_name":"Southampton",
                        "match_hometeam_score":"0",
                        "match_awayteam_name":"Chelsea",
                        "match_awayteam_score":"2",
                        "match_live":"1",
                        "goalscorer": [{
                            "time":"6\'",
                            "home_scorer":"",
                            "score":"0 - 1",
                            "away_scorer":"E.  Eden Hazard"
                        },{
                            "time":"55\'",
                            "home_scorer":"",
                            "score":"0 - 2",
                            "away_scorer":"D.  Diego  Costa"
                        }]
        }]');
$array = json_decode('$array');

After that you can access its elements and attributes as you occupy it:

$goalscorer = $array[0]->goalscorer;
//var_dump($goalscorer);
foreach($goalscorer as $goal){
    echo $goal->time."<br>";
    echo $goal->home_scorer."<br>";
    echo $goal->score."<br>";
    echo $goal->away_scorer."<br>";
}

The reason why I use it ->is because when doing the function json_decode()the array is converted into an object, so in order to access its attributes you must use that notation instead of the traditional one with boxes [].

Note: The reason I used \in the attribute timewas because otherwise PHP would think that I am closing the JSON string there and would send an error when compiling.
