Instead of an enumeration of first-half, second-half, extra-time, etc. just use 1,2,3 because such numbers can be universally applied to all sports whereas that enumeration is soccer-specific (though it would work for rugby too). If done this way the user has to infer meaning, which can be supported with documentation. So "4" could mean the following: soccer and rugby: extra-time second half ice-hockey: first period of overtime cricket: first turn of second innings baseball: fourth inning (or bottom of second inning depending on what we decide) american-football and basketball: fourth quarter —paul
