Win for an away team

Answer:

HOME LOSS

Hint:

Not available

Explanation:

In sports, a "win for an away team" means the visiting team beats the home team, which is framed here as a "home loss" from the home team’s perspective. The clue plays on shifting viewpoints—what’s a victory for one side is automatically a defeat for the other. It’s a straightforward but clever way to describe the same outcome from opposite angles.
