Puoliaikalopputulosvedonlyönti

Puoliaikaloppu is a Finnish term referring to the end of the first half of a sports match. The phrase directly translates to "half-time end." It marks a distinct break in play, typically lasting a set duration, during which players and coaches can regroup, strategize, and receive any necessary medical attention. This interval is a crucial element in many sports, allowing for a strategic shift and a physical respite before the second half commences. The length of the puoliaikaloppu can vary depending on the sport and the governing rules of the competition. For instance, in football (soccer), it is commonly 15 minutes, while in ice hockey, it is usually 18 minutes. During this period, spectators often have an opportunity to visit concessions or discuss the game's progress. The end of the puoliaikaloppu signals the resumption of play for the second half of the match.
