What stoppage time means

Stoppage time is the extra minutes added at the end of each half to make up for time lost to injuries, substitutions and other delays. Richarlison scored his dramatic winner during this period, showing how crucial it is to maintain focus right until the referee blows the final whistle, no matter how tired players feel.
