I believe the answer is:

lose

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

'say goodbye' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'the sole chance' is the wordplay.
'sole' can be anagrammed to 'LOSE'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lose that I've seen before include "Misplace" , "Fail to keep" , "Be beaten" , "Suffer a defeat" , "go down" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
