Cos they've already fought each other to a stalemate and they're knackered

Making them play forever until someone scores wouldn't be fair on either team on the night, or on the winning team for the next match. And it could be dangerous. And would favour Arbeit Macht Football style fitness players over skill.

Taking players off every 5 mins (possibly combined with a golden goal) would open the game up and make it exciting as well as making for a speedy result. And it's still football, not penalties.
