A football match is a competitive game played between two teams, each consisting of eleven players. The objective is to score goals by getting a ball into the opposing team's net. Matches are typically played on a rectangular field with a goal at each end. The team with the most goals at the end of the match wins. Football matches are usually divided into two halves, each lasting 45 minutes, with a short break in between. Referees oversee the game to enforce the rules, ensuring fair play. Matches can end in a win, loss, or draw, depending on the final score.
