Cricket: format, legal balls and participation
A T20 match, an ODI and a Test can require different interpretations of time, innings and results. Overs notation counts legal balls, not decimal fractions. A predicted XI is also different from actual participation.
Football: the match period matters
A result after 90 minutes, a result after extra time and qualification can be different conditions. Competition regulations determine extra time, shoot-outs and tie-breaks; a table position is not a match score.
