scorelines

Match outcome numbers

Scorelines are the numerical results of sporting events, typically showing points for each side: The scorelines from yesterday's matches were surprisingly lopsided.

In British usage especially, the term refers to the final tally displayed after a game: A 3-0 scoreline flattered the home team.

The word also appears in manufacturing for perforated lines where material is meant to be folded or torn.
