Did you get your maths GCE?
The 4 minutes was displayed prior to the stoppage for the injury which took another 4 minutes to resolve. So now we have 8 minutes to add (4 + 4), the game restarted at 94 minutes on the clock.
Simple maths 94 + 8 = 102, the big lump blew before the clock hit 100.
P.S. As pointed out, what about the sending off. Should have added time for that as well.
Working out this added on time scenario is far more confusing than it should actually be.
“4 minutes was displayed prior to the stoppage” - this means the game should end on 94 mins.
“An injury took 4 minutes to resolve” - this means the match restarts on the 94th minute.
There are still 4 minutes left to play which means the game should finish on 98 minutes.
You’re correct in the sense that if 4 mins have been added on and an injury delays the game by 4 minutes, that 8 minutes need adding. However, you’ve got confused on the restart of play.
The 8 minutes are added from the 90 minute mark, not the 94th minute.
