'linger uncertainly' is the definition.
'hover' can be an answer for 'linger' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'uncertainly' bit.

'match finally finished' is the wordplay.
'finally' says to take the final letters.
'finished' becomes 'over' (similar in meaning).
The last letter of 'match' is 'h'.
'h'+'over'='HOVER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hover that I've seen before include "Remain in the air; linger" , "Low flying machine (10)" , "Float in one place in the air" , "Float above in the air, perhaps a craft" , "Hang in the air or waver" .)
