1) A football match lasts 90 minutes, no more, no less.
2) they were only down to ten men from the 85th minute. If it was the first minute, maybe the headline would make sense.
1. A football match lasts 90 minutes plus whatever the ref adds on. It has always been thus. So if they have been playing for 97 minutes and a goal is scored then that goal is scored in the 97th minute of the match and there is nothing wrong in reporting that fact.
2. When they scored the winning goal it was indeed against a 10 man scum team, so again absolutely nothing wrong in reporting that fact that it was a 97th min winner against 10 men.
