Second Goal Time: 56–90 Minutes in Football Betting (Explained)
The Second Goal Time (56–90 mins) bet predicts when the second goal of the match will be scored, specifically between the 56th minute and the final whistle (including stoppage time).
It does not matter which team scores
Only the second goal of the match counts
If the second goal is scored before 56 minutes, the bet loses
If the match ends with only one goal or 0–0, the bet loses
How It Works (Simple Explanation)
- First goal = any time
- Second goal must occur from minute 56 to 90+
- Extra time does not count (league matches only)
