How to read football scores in English

If a team wins after a penalty shootout, we say they "won on penalties", but to say the exact score, the simple way is to use "win" and "lose" followed by numbers.

In sports , a tournament match is generally called a "match", while a friendly match is called "a friendly match".

If an athlete or team has a series of wins, we call it a "winning streak" or "hot streak": Vietnam maintained its winning streak after the friendly match with Palestine yesterday.

Conversely, if they lose many matches in a row, it can be said to be a "losing streak", that is, a losing streak: The defeat last night continued her losing streak.

To say how much a team won or lost, simply use the words "win" and "lose" followed by numbers. In particular, if the score includes 0, English uses the word "nil" instead of "zero".

For example: Palestine lost the match two-nil.

Barcelona won nine-nil in the match with Luxembourg last night.

If we want to express it more formally, we can say "Barcelona won by nine goals to nil".

In case of a tie, simply replace "win" or "lose" with "draw": Vietnam drew two-two with Thailand / Vietnam and Thailand drew two-two in the final match of the 2022 AFF Cup (Vietnam and Thailand drew 2-2 in the final match of the 2022 AFF Cup).

If a team wins after a penalty shootout, we say they "won on penalties".

A match played at home is called a "home game", while a match played away is called an "away game". Similarly, the home team is the "home team", and the away team is the "away team".

For example: They lost one home game but won both away games.

According to statistics, Manchester United have never lost a home game after leading at half-time since 1984.
