Game in Poland securing no-score draw (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pool

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

'poland securing no-score draw' is the wordplay.
'poland' becomes 'pl' (e.g. on number plates).
'securing' indicates putting letters inside.
'no-score draw' becomes 'oo' (the score 0-0).
'pl' placed around 'oo' is 'POOL'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for pool that I've seen before include "Ball game - piece of water" , "Mere - game" , "Shared supply; game" , "Reserve" , "Game; patch of liquid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
