Because to a mistake between referees, The Athletic reports that Leyton Orient and Hartlepool United had to play four minutes of first-half stoppage time at the start of the second half.
Referee Alan Young blew the half-time whistle too soon in a peculiar occurrence. After that, both teams went into the tunnel for a rest.
However, when they returned to the pitch for the second half, it became clear that Young had called time too soon. The teams were advised that the four extra minutes that should have been played in the first half would have to be played at the start of the second half.

The teams shot in the same direction for four minutes before swapping ends and starting the second half under an unusual set of circumstances.
