3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
It compensates for time lost to subs, injuries, VAR, and over-celebrating (!). It's now timed more strictly, so around 10 minutes is no longer rare. “A stoppage-time winner” is a football storytelling staple.
On the call you'll hear“Five minutes of added time! This isn't over yet!”
