Are results pre-determined before a ball is kicked?

My mate and I work together and often watch each other's games.. Funny enough it often comes up on his phone a few seconds before mine that a goal had happened.. So today I was 4-1 up with a 5 minutes to go I got him to check my league table and It had already updated with my win and I had won 6-1 as you can guess I scored 2 more goals

It seems like the game you see is in some delay to your manager instructions hence why it can take a while to make a substitution once you have given the instruction, when you watching it seems like the next 5 minutes at least has already been calculated in advance.
