That’s easy to explain if you read the rules - the ref’s watch stops on the award of the penalty and starts again at the restart of the game from the centre circle if it’s scored. Plus he stops it’s for each substitution. With two penalties before 90 minutes plus lots of subs I was expecting 9-10 minutes.
