Soccer end rowdy in rising noise (9)
I believe the answer is:
crescendo
'rising noise' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'soccer end rowdy' is the wordplay.
'rowdy' is an anagram indicator.
'soccer'+'end'='soccerend'
'soccerend' with letters rearranged gives 'CRESCENDO'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for crescendo that I've seen before include "Intensify" , "rising from piano?" , "In music, a gradual increase in loudness" , "Gradual increase in loudness, musically" , "Gradually increasing in volume" .)
