Time shall be extended to permit a PK being taken at or after the expiration of the normal period in either half. At half-time the interval shall not exceed five minutes except by consent of the referee. If a match has been stopped by the referee, before the completion of the time specified in the rules, for any reason stated in Law 5, it must be replayed in full unless the rules of the competition concerned provide for the result of the match at the time of such stoppage to stand.
Players have a right to an interval at half-time.
