Explained in plain English

What is 'injury time'?

Injury time, also known as 'added time' or 'stoppage time', is extra time played at the end of each half in football. It's added by the referee to compensate for delays during the game, like injuries, substitutions, or goal celebrations. Josko Gvardiol's winner came during this crucial period.
