The two minutes...

"If I can’t shout when we score, because we have to wait two minutes for a decision, will I buy a ticket?”

The two minutes Pochettino was referring to began in the sixth minute. (The Guardian.)

--------------------------

Is my parsing of the second sentence above correct?

The two minutes Pochettino was referring to - a subject;

began - a predicator (linking verb);

in the sixth minute - a complement.

Yes—depending on how broadly you define 'complement'. (I use the term for predicate nouns and adjectives, so I would all your an adverbial phrase.)
