A soccer match lasts 90 minutes, including a 45-minute first half and a 45-minute second half, with a 15-minute soccer halftime break. If there is no winner in the regular time, the game will go into overtime, which is a 30-minute game, with a 15-minute break in the first and second halves, but there is no break during the overtime period. There is no break in overtime, but a 5-minute break for both teams before overtime. Extra time occurs when there is no winner in the regular game time, and the game is extended to extra time. However, the length of overtime is different in sports, as unlike basketball, which has five-minute overtime periods until a winner is determined, soccer has a 30-minute overtime period.

As we all know, soccer is a very physical sport, which has very strict requirements for players' physical fitness, footwork and confrontation ability. Participating athletes not only need to run to get the opportunity to score goals, but also need to guard against opponents to get points from their own feet, strong confrontation and the amount of movement makes the players' physical energy consumption is very fast. It is obviously not reasonable to play a regular 90-minute match, and although some players are able to withstand a regular match, this does not mean that all players are physically capable of doing so. Therefore, a 15-minute break in the middle of the match is necessary to allow players who have played in the first half and then have to continue to play in the second half to get in shape, and at the same time, the teams can also exchange tactics and methods of dealing with the game during this period.
