There have been a total of 57 minutes played in the four games so far, which is much more than one half of a football game.
Despite the authorities extending eight minutes of extra time, Davy Klaassen of the Netherlands scored in the ninth minute.
The quantity of extra time that was used in this World Cup game was unusually high. Football games have an additional period of time added to each half to make up for the time lost during injury worries, substitutions, VAR reviews, and goal celebrations.
In the England-Iran game, there were eight goals, 10 substitutes, two concussion-related injuries, and 24 additional minutes were added. Astonishingly, the game lasted almost 117 minutes.
The fourth officials have been told to keep account of lost time during the game, according to Pierluigi Collina, the chairman of FIFA’s referees committee, who confirmed this at a pre-tournament briefing.
According to Collina, “In Russia, we tried to be more precise in making up for time lost during games, which is why you saw six, seven, or even eight minutes added on.” Consider this: if you score three goals in a row, you’ll likely waste four or five minutes to celebrations and restarts.
Gareth Bale, the captain of Wales, admitted after the game that he began to feel exhausted at the finish. “Toward the finish, I started to feel a little worn out. I can’t believe there were nine extra minutes, but we must work hard for our nation, Bale remarked.
Jamie Carragher, a commentator and former England player, supported the choice. He wrote on Twitter, “Enjoying the extra time the Qatar World Cup officials are adding on… there is too much time wasted in football!”
