Match official bungle oddly ignored safety (6)
I believe the answer is:
refuge
'safety' is the definition.
('refuge' can be a synonym of 'safety')
'match official bungle oddly ignored' is the wordplay.
'match official' becomes 'ref' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'oddly ignored' indicates alternate letters.
The alternate letters of 'bungle' are 'uge'.
'ref'+'uge'='REFUGE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for refuge that I've seen before include "The sort of shelter" , "Place of safety" , "Place of retreat, sanctuary" , "Traffic island" , "Safe haven" .)
