das Gegentor, -e
conceded goal
The German word "Gegentor" is a compound noun formed from "Gegen" (opposite or counter) and "Tor" (gate or goal). It typically refers to the opposing goal in sports, particularly in soccer (football), indicating the goal that the other team is trying to score in.
Similar terms include "Tor" (goal) and "Gegenseite" (opposite side). The main difference between "Gegentor" and "Tor" is that "Gegentor" explicitly emphasizes the opponent's goal, while "Tor" can refer generally to any goal, either your own or the opponent's, depending on the context.
