UEFA or FIFA don't seem to provide any API to get the information you want. However, there are some third-party services which support that:
OPTA - Both commercial and free. They have incredible database about matches. Whoscored.com currently uses it.
Others: livescoreboards, xmlsoccer, ...
http://api.football-data.org/index is free and useful. The API is in active development, stable and recently the first versioned release called alpha was put online. Check the blog section to follow updates and changes.
UEFA internally provides their own LIVEX Api for their Broadcasting Partners. That one is perfect enough to develop the Applications by their partners for themselves.
You can find stats-dot-com - personally I think their are better than opta. ESPN seems don't provide data in full and do not provide live data feeds (unfortunatelly).
We've been seeking for official data feed providing for our fantasy games (solutionsforfantasysport.com) and still staying with stats-com mainly (used opta, datafactory as well)
