Match in which the scores are level? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tie

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'match' is the first definition.
(I know that tie is a more specific form of the action match)

'in which' is a link.

'the scores' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Equal scores ' mean 'tie' so perhaps 'scores' could also mean 'tie')

'are level?' is the third definition.

(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "sports match" , "Stalemate" , "11 [KNOT]" , "Accessory" , "Bind; dead heat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
