Sum values in Python

I'm trying to get a list like this, where the two collected numbers are sum together and deliver the final result of that sum team1Goals + team2Goals:

FT      4 + 1 - Atletico El Vigia v Llaneros de Guanare
Postp.  1 + 2 - Deportivo Lara B v Atletico El Vigia
Postp.  0 + 0 - Llaneros de Guanare v Urena SC
FT      1 + 0 - Rayo Zuliano v Universidad de Los Andes FC

Expected Result:

FT      5 - Atletico El Vigia v Llaneros de Guanare
Postp.  3 - Deportivo Lara B v Atletico El Vigia
Postp.  0 - Llaneros de Guanare v Urena SC
FT      1 - Rayo Zuliano v Universidad de Los Andes FC

I tried using the sum() method, but it gives me an error and even giving me a hint that I honestly don't know how to go about using:

TypeError: sum() can't sum strings [use ''.join(seq) instead]

    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers).json()
    stages = response['Stages']
    for stage in stages:
        events = stage['Events']
        for event in events:
            outcome = event['Eps']
            team1Name = event['T1'][0]['Nm']
            if 'Tr1OR' in event.keys():
                team1Goals = event['Tr1OR']
            else:
                team1Goals = '0'
            
            team2Name = event['T2'][0]['Nm']
            if 'Tr2OR' in event.keys():
                team2Goals = event['Tr2OR']
            else:
                team2Goals = '0'
            print('%s\t%s - %s v %s' %(outcome, [sum(team1Goals,team2Goals)], team1Name, team2Name))

I am not sure if I got your question correctly, but (now) as I understand is that we can change the STR to INT by doing the following:

print('%s\t%s - %s v %s' % (outcome, sum([int(team1Goals),int(team2Goals)]), team1Name, team2Name))

Type cast the string variables to integers:

print('%s\t%s - %s v %s' % (outcome, sum([int(team1Goals),int(team2Goals)]), team1Name, team2Name))

So, The sum is only for integers, adding integers, That's what the error says, and has the solution too

Use: variable_name = str(team1Goals) + str(team2Goals)

Sum can add up all values in a array given that they are of the same type. You can only use float and integers, while you have used strings.
