Equalise score holding United at last (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eventually

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'at last' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'equalise score holding united' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'united' could be 'u' and 'u' is located in the answer.
'score' could be 'tally' (synonyms) and 'tally' is located in the remaining letters.
The remaining letters 'even' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
