Multiple replacements in a string are not working properly #48

I am using react-string-replace for translations. I have a string and I want to replace a couple of substitutes.
The code looks like this:

ReactStringReplace(
    '[link]This is my link[/link] available everywhere or [shortcode].',
    /(\[link\].*\[\/link\])|(\[shortcode\])/g,
    (match) => {
      console.log('match', match);
    }
  )

From my understanding, my regular expression should match only the first link and the [shortcode]. But the result in the console looks like this:

match [link]This is my link[/link]
match  available everywhere or 
match [shortcode]

I don't understand why is the middle match there. It doesn't match the regular expression.
