A soccer match typically consists of two 45-minute halves, with a 15-minute halftime break. In total, a soccer match lasts for 90 minutes, plus stoppage time which is added by the referee to compensate for time lost due to injuries, substitutions, and other stoppages. The amount of stoppage time can vary greatly depending on the game situation, and can last anywhere from 1-10 minutes. For international tournaments, two 15-minute overtime periods may be added if the game is tied after the 90-minute regulation time is up. In total, a soccer match can last up to 120 minutes.
