Answer 1

Route::match is only used to match multiple HTTP Verbs to a route.

As far as I know you can't achieve what you want, and there is no point to do this.

What you may need is Route::resource check the docs

Answer 2

Managed to get it working by editing NGINX config file. In my situation im using laravel 5 homestead with default configuration. Config file is located /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/homestead.app . Add try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; right after location ~ \\.php$ . Should look similar to this

location ~ \.php$ {
        try_files  $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
        fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        ....
    }

I am not sure as to why, but you can use Route::group with a prefix as such

Route::group(['prefix' => 'example'], function() {
    Route::get('action/{id}', 'ExampleController@getAction');
});

Going to http://yoursite.com/example/action/111 will use the getAction method in the ExampleController.

public function getAction($id) {
    // do something with Example with this $id
}
