Red dice tossed in final match (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decider

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'final match' is the definition.
'decider' can be an answer for 'match' (I have seen 'Important match' mean 'decider' so perhaps 'match' could also mean 'decider'). I am not certain of the 'final' bit.

'red dice tossed' is the wordplay.
'tossed' indicates an anagram.
'red'+'dice'='reddice'
'reddice' with letters rearranged gives 'DECIDER'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for decider that I've seen before include "Last game after a draw" , "Game settling a contest" , "It settles an outcome" , "Settler" , "Clinching game" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
