Match before the final (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

semi

'match before the final' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for semi that I've seen before include "House sharing a wall" , "Articulated lorry (US)" , "important match" , "Connected house" , "match, the last but one?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
