Italian team getting goal in stoppage time? (12)
I believe the answer is:
intermission
'stoppage time?' is the definition.
(eg when a concert stops)
'italian team getting goal' is the wordplay.
'italian team' becomes 'inter' (Inter Milan FC).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'goal' becomes 'mission'.
'inter'+'mission'='INTERMISSION'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for intermission that I've seen before include "Break; respite" , "Interval" , "Pause, break" , "Entr'acte" , "Theatre's half-time" .)
