2. Check and indicate the minimum amount of additional time (stoppage time) decided by the referee at the end of each half.
3. Assist the referee with administrative and disciplinary duties, monitoring the technical area, bench personnel, and notifying the referee of irresponsible behavior or incidents outside the referee's view.
(b) The Referee should award a penalty kick to the attacking team (and caution or send off the defender depending on whether the tackle was reckless or denied an obvious goal-scoring opportunity).
(c) The Referee should stop play, send off the offending player by showing a red card for violent conduct / physical altercation, and restart play with a direct free kick to the opposing team from the location where the jersey-pulling or fight occurred.

(a) Trapping: Trapping is a fundamental football skill of bringing a moving or airborne ball under immediate control using various legal parts of the body (such as the inside of the foot, instep, sole, thigh, or chest). The player cushions the impact of the ball by absorbing its momentum, allowing them to retain possession and execute a pass, dribble, or shot.
(b) FIFA World Cup: The FIFA World Cup is the premier quadrennial international football tournament organized by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). Contested by senior men's national teams of FIFA member associations following a worldwide qualification process, it is the most prestigious and widely watched sporting event in world football.
