Winning and losing (победа и поражение)

Spain beat Switzerland 3-2. (= Switzerland lost to Spain 3-2) In other words: Spain won the match. (= Switzerland lost the match) Spain were the winners. (= Switzerland were the losers)

If two teams/players have the same score (= number of goals or points) at full-time (= the end of the game), it is a draw. We can also use draw as a verb, e.g. We drew 2-2.

When a game is in progress, we use lead to describe the position of the teams or player with the most goals/points, and latest to describe the score:

At half-time, Brazil are leading Chile 2-1. (= the latest score is 2-1 to Brazil)
