残り一分を切る meaning


> 試合時間が **残り一分を切った** ところで、ゴールを決められて負けてしまった。

I'm not sure about 残り一分を切った. I tried gathering some information and found that
残り一分 = 1 minute left. But I haven't seen 切る used in this context before, so I
searched the meaning it said "to do (something) in less or within a certain
time"

So, I translated it as "When the competition time is less than 1 minute, the
result has been set that we lost."

I'm not sure but I think that the situation is that the match isn't actually
over yet because there's still less than 1 minute left, but the referee (or
someone) assumed that we lost already. Am I correct?

BTW: I'm not an English speaker if you can answer in simple language I would
be really grateful. Thank you in advance.




According to a dictionary 広辞苑:

切る: ➋ 物事を限定する。

3. **（ある数量を）下回る。割る。** 「千円を少し―・った値をつける」「10秒を―・る」 

So one of the meanings of 切る is "Number or quantity goes down below a certain
point".

So 試合時間が残り一分を切ったところで is just talking about WHEN. At the point that there was
only one minute left before the game ended.

ゴールを決められて負けてしまった → we conceded a goal, then we lost the game.

Of course it doesn't mean that the game was ended when the goal was made, but
the time was run out and they lost.
