Milan team fail to score in netting zero -- half-time? (12)
I believe the answer is:
intermission
'milan team fail to score in netting zero half-time?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'milan team fail to score in netting zero' is the wordplay.
'milan team' becomes 'Inter' (Inter Milan football team).
'fail to score' becomes 'miss'.
'netting' indicates putting letters inside (net can mean to contain or capture).
'zero' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'in' going around 'o' is 'ion'.
'inter'+'miss'+'ion'='INTERMISSION'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for intermission that I've seen before include "Theatre's half-time" , "Entr'acte" , "Break; respite" , "Pause, break" , "Interval" .)
