Garbage time

Time near the end of a decided sports match

In sports, garbage time is the period toward the end of a timed sports competition that has become a blowout, when the outcome has effectively already been decided, and when the coaches of one or both teams will decide to replace their best players with substitutes. This serves to give these substitutes, who are usually less experienced or younger players, actual playing experience, as well as to protect the best players from the possibility of injury.
