Unable to unmarshal number into Go Value - go

Question

I try to refrain from asking questions with simple answers but I can't seem to figure out what the issue is here... (Issue in title)
Relevant code:
match := new(Match)
if _, msgB, err = ws.ReadMessage(); err != nil {
panic(err)
}else {
println(string(msgB))
err = json.Unmarshal(msgB, match)
if err != nil { panic(err) }
}
type Match struct {
Teams [][]Char
Map [][]Tile
ID string //uuid
Socket *websocket.Conn `json:'-'`
}
type Char struct {
ID int
HP int
CT int
Stats statList
X int
Y int
ACList Actions
}
type statList struct {
Str int
Vit int
Int int
Wis int
Dex int
Spd int
}
type Actions struct {
Actions []Action
TICKCT int
}
String to unmarshal (Formatted for visibility):
{
"Teams": [
[
{
"ID": 1,
"HP": 10,
"CT": 0,
"Stats": [
1,
1,

unmarshal number into Go value of type main.Char

Answer 1

I made a fixed version of the code (playground). This seemed to be the main mistake:
type Char struct {
ID int
HP int
CT int
Stats []int // This was statList which won't work
X int
Y int
ACList Actions
}
Also note the definition I made of Tile which allows numbers to be nil.
type Tile struct {
Depth int
Type int
Unit *int
}
You didn't provide all the structures so I made some up - probably wrong! All together that is:
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
)
type Match struct {
Teams [][]Char
Map [][]Tile
ID string //uuid
// Socket *websocket.Conn `json:'-'`
}
type Char struct {
ID int
HP int
CT int
Stats []int // This was statList which won't work
X int
Y int
ACList Actions
}
type statList struct {
Str int
Vit int
Int int
Wis int
Dex int
Spd int
}
type Action string
type Actions struct {
Actions []Action
TICKCT int
}
type Tile struct {
Depth int
Type int
Unit *int
}
var data = `{
