During the game you have injuries and other situations where game is stoped but clock is ticking. They count +- how much time was wasted on these situations and add it as extra time.

I was curious why did they stop at 4:56 or something, even did not wait the whole 5 minutes while there was a situation with stopped game during that extra time. Shouldn't they stretch those 5 minutes to something like 5:20 because of that?
