Show explanationHow the footage and Laws apply
Additional time ends once the indicated amount of playing time has been played. Even if time is lost during the additional time itself, through treatment of an injury or a confrontation between players, the half ends once the remaining playing time has elapsed after play restarts. In this case, the time lost during the additional time was itself added on to the additional time, and play therefore continued far beyond the indicated period. For example, if four minutes of additional time are indicated and a confrontation in the 93rd minute stops the match for ten minutes, play restarts in the 103rd minute and the match ends after one further minute of play. (The ten minutes of the stoppage are not added on.)
