Result during soccer replay causing increase in noise (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crescendo

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

'increase in noise' is the definition.
'crescendo' can be an answer for 'increase' (crescendoing is a kind of increasing). I'm not certain of the 'in noise' bit.

'result during soccer replay' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'result' could be 'end' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'end' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'soccer' is 'cresco' which is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'causing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crescendo that I've seen before include "Gradually getting louder" , "Gradually increasing in volume" , "Increase of volume in music" , "Gradual increase in sound" , "Gradual increase in music's loudness" .)
