| Although there are 11 players on a team there are several commonly used ways to arrange them. |
Team khatah a kheltu mi 11 ni mahsela han siam rem mai dan bik kawng tam tak a awm. |
| The two most commonly used formations today are probably the 4-5-1, 4-3-3, and the 4-4-2 (note: first # is the # of defenders, the second midfielders, and third forwards) although there are some different variations of each. |
Tunlai bera an khelh dan chu 4-5-1, 4-3-3, leh 4-4-2 te an ni (hriat tur: ahmasa ber # hi defender te # a ni a, a dawttu chu midfileder an tih a laia tlan te an ni a, tichuan a pathumna chu a hmatlan te an ni), heng te hi dang thei ve theuh bawk mahse. |
| Two variation of a 4-4-2 are the "flat back four" and a "diamond back" or "sweeper, stopper" where the back four defenders form a diamond with the stopper ahead of the sweeper. |
4-4-2 dan theih dan chi hnih chu "flat back four" an tih ang leh "diamond back" an tih ang emaw "sweeper, stopper" an tih a hnua chai ten diamond an siam a, stopper hmaa sweeper an dah hi a ni. |
| Other less commonly used formations are the 3-6-1, 4-2-4, and the 3-5-2. |
A dang hman hlawh lem lo tak chu 3-6-1. 4-2-4. leh 3-5-2 te an ni. |
| Changes can be made in the formations according to the position of the game . |
Game an khelha an position a zira chutianga siam danglam thin a ni. |
| If one team has scored only single goal ,they can change formations in the closing stages of the match or they can put more players forward to score more goals when they are trailing by a goal. |
Team khatin goal khat chauh an thun chuan, match zawh ruai lamah an in form dan chu siam danglamin emaw a hmatlanah kheltu te dah tamin emaw an siam danglam thin, si khat chauhva hneh lo an nih chuan. |
| A football match consists of two halves and each half is 45 minutes long. |
Football match ah chuan hun chanve vawi hnih a awm a, a chanve chu minute 45 zela rei a ni. |
| Between the two halves, there is an interval, which is not more than 15 minutes long. |
Chung hun chanve vawi hnih inkarah chawlh hun a awm a, chu chu minute 15 aia rei lo a ni thin. |
| Stoppage time (also called injury time) is the time added on at the end of each half at the discretion of the referee. |
Chawlhlailawk hun (inhliam hun an tih mai) chu chung hun chanve zelah chuan referee in a ngaihdana a siam te an ni. |
| The stoppage time added is roughly proportional to the length of delays in the game. |
Chawlhlailawk hun chuan game zawh hun pawh tlemin a pawhsei phah thin a ni. |
| These delays may be due to injuries, time lost through substitutions, general time wasting, etc. |
Chung khawmuanna chu hliam tuar an awm vang tein, inthlak vang tein, emaw vang vang tein a ni thin. |
| Although these may seem insignificant, stoppage time can be crucial for losing teams to equalize or even win. |
Heng hi pawimawh lem lo angin a lang mai thei nachungin, chawlhlailawkna hian hnehna chan nan emaw han rulh let leh nan hun a lo tiral hle a ni. |
| A notable example is the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. |
Tehkhin tur ber chu kum 2013-14 a Real Madrid leh Atletico Madrid te inkhelhna UEFA Champions League final ah a thleng. |
| Atletico Madrid were leading 1-0 when Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid equalized in stoppage time. |
Atletico Madrid chuan 1-0 in hma an hruai, Real Madrid lam Sergio Ramos in chawlhlailawk huna an rulh let hun khan. |
| The game went into extra time whereby Madrid won 4-1 leading to their tenth European title. |
Game chu hun pekbelh nena a kal zelnaah Madrid chuan 4-1 in European title ah hma a hruai phah ta a ni. |
| Another instance in point is the 1998-99 UEFA Champions League Final between Bayern Munich and Manchester United. |
Tehkhin tur a dang pakhat chu kum 1998-99 kuma Bayern Munich leh Manchester United te inkhelhna UEFA Champions League Final ah a thleng bawk. |
| Bayern Munich scored an early goal and controlled most of the match, until Manchester United turned things around with two goals in the 91st and 93rd minutes of the game to win 2-1. |
Bayern Munich in goal hmasa a thun a, tichuan match chu an thunun ti tih reng a, Manchester United in miniute 91na leh 93na inkarah 2-1 in a hneh ta daih a ni. |
