The match is a draw (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tie

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'the match' is the first definition.
(tie can mean a sporting fixture)

'a draw' is the second definition.
(I know that draw can be written as tie)

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "Secure - draw" , "around the neck?" , "Fasten; draw" , "Bind with a cord" , "Encumbrance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
