Be all square in match (3)

I believe the answer is:

tie

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'be all square' is the first definition.

'match' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "Neck attire" , "Knot; achieve the same score" , "may make one hot under the collar" , "Bond; draw" , "Fasten, link to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
