2. Winning and losing
_ Spain beat Switzerland 3-2
_ Spain won the match. (= Switzerland lost the match)
_ Spain defeated (v- đánh bại) Swizerland. (= Switzerland were defeated by Spain)
_ Spain were the winners. (Switzerland were the losers)

If both teams or player have the same score (= number of goals or points), it is a draw.
we drew (v) yesterday's match/game.
We've got an important match against a very good team next week.
When the game is still in progress, we often use the verb 'lead' to describe the position of the teams and players, or 'lastest' to describe the score;
At half-time, Spain are leading Switzerland tow-one.
Sampras is leading three-two in the first set. (= the latest score is three-two to Sampras)













If someone gives you the lastest score, the game has finished.
You can lost one or two games but still win the competition.
A set in tennis is not always decided on a tie-break.
If two teams have the same score at the end of the game, it is a draw.

Competitions
In many sports, players and teams play every week in a league.
The player/team that wins the most games in a season is the winner of the league championship.
In most sports, there is also a cup competition, which is usually a knock-out competition.

quarter final
semi-final
final

The referee gave the try although many people thought it was a forward pass.
He scored the winner with a beautiful free kick from just outside the penalty area.
He served fifteen aces and not one double fault.
The coach called a time out with just 45 seconds left and two points between the teams.
He crashed into are in front with just two laps remaining.
First he was booked (= the yellow card) for a bad tackle (n- chặn, cản), and then he handled the ball inside the penalty area, so the referee had to send him off (= the red card).
In the 200 metres freestyles, he overtook (v- vượt qua) the Russian on the final length to win the race.
She sprinted (v- chạy nước rút) away from the rest of the field on the final lap won easily.
