Le terme «match» est reconnu dans la langue française pour rendre «game». On peut également utiliser «partie» ou «rencontre», bien que «partie» s'emploie davantage pour les jeux ou les sports dans leur version récréative. Les termes «affrontement» et «confrontation» s'utilisent lorsque le désir de vaincre est à son paroxysme, qu'il y a idée de revanche après une défaite passée ou que les deux concurrents ou équipes cherchent à conquérir un titre dans un cas, à le défendre, dans l'autre. 6, record 1, French, - match

Pluriel : des matchs ou des matches. La graphie «matchs» est attestée dans les Rectifications de l'orthographe recommandés par le Conseil supérieur de la langue française et dans le Petit Robert (2009). Ce dernier mentionne que «matches» est parfois utilisé. 6, record 1, French, - match
