stoppage time
In sports, especially soccer, the additional playing time at the end of a half that is added on to make up for interruptions such as injuries or substitutions.
Der Ausgleichstreffer fiel erst in der dritten Minute der Nachspielzeit.
The equalizer only came in the third minute of stoppage time.
extra time
In a figurative sense, a short additional period granted after the actual end of a time span.
Der Professor gab uns eine kleine Nachspielzeit von fünf Minuten, um die Klausur zu beenden.
The professor gave us a little extra time of five minutes to finish the exam.
The word is clearly made up of 'nach' (after), 'Spiel' (game), and 'Zeit' (time). So it literally refers to the time that is still played after the actual game.
Alle hofften, dass in der Nachspielzeit noch ein Tor fällt.
Everyone hoped that another goal would be scored in stoppage time.
The time expression is almost always formed with the preposition 'in' and the dative. So you say 'in der Nachspielzeit' (in stoppage time).
Die Mannschaft hat in der Nachspielzeit noch verloren.
The team still lost in stoppage time.
In a sports context, typical phrases are 'der Schiedsrichter zeigt die Nachspielzeit an' (the referee indicates stoppage time), 'ein Tor in der Nachspielzeit schießen' (to score a goal in stoppage time), or 'drei Minuten Nachspielzeit bekommen' (to get three minutes of stoppage time).
Der Schiedsrichter hat vier Minuten Nachspielzeit angezeigt.
The referee indicated four minutes of stoppage time.
You can recognize the figurative meaning from the context. If it is not about sports but about exams, deadlines, or projects, it means an additional period of time.
Wir haben für die Abgabe des Projekts noch eine kleine Nachspielzeit erhalten.
We were given a little extra time to submit the project.
extension / extra time
Stoppage time is added at the end of a half to make up for interruptions. Verlängerung, by contrast, is a separate additional phase of play used to determine the winner when the score is tied. Use Nachspielzeit for the added minutes and Verlängerung for the extra phase after a draw.
Nach mehreren Verletzungspausen begann die fünfminütige Nachspielzeit.
After several injury stoppages, the five minutes of stoppage time began.
Nach dem Gleichstand begann die Verlängerung, um einen Sieger zu ermitteln.
After the tie, extra time began to determine a winner.
