equaliser

Ties the game

An equaliser is British spelling of equalizer.

In sports, especially football, an equaliser is a goal that ties the score: They scored an equaliser in the 89th minute.

In audio, an equaliser adjusts frequency levels.

More broadly, something that equalises removes advantages or levels differences: Death is the great equaliser.
