eli5 football (soccer) extra time

313 views

I don’t understand why we as a viewing public can’t see exactly when a game will end. It also doesn’t seem like the players are aware. I was watching the end of the Guana vs. Korean Republic match today and it seemed the game ended without notice. How is time kept and who decides when the game ends?

Ultimately, it’s up to the field referee to decide when the match/half/extra-time-halves ends, the timer is just a minimum requirement.
