For this reason the ten players comprise of defenders, mid fielders and forwards. The goal keeper is allowed to catch the ball with their hands within the penalty box while the other players are prohibited. The other players only use hands to make throws for balls that go outside the pitch. A football match lasts for 90 minutes with 45-minute first and second halves. The Half-Time period is 15 minutes. There may also be an application of extra time added to the end of match period for some certain conditions.
During the game, the goal-keeper passes the ball to the players who will strive to score goals against the opponents. The players are allowed to kick the ball with their legs as well as head to score and make passes. The defenders mainly prevent the opponent’s forwards from scoring; the midfielders plan the game and contribute to scoring while the forwards are meant to score. Those who play foul are given a warning by the referee and sometimes given yellow cards in serious cases. Two yellow cards result to a red card which means the player is sent off the pitch for the rest of game.
