What is 'aggregate' in football?
In football, 'aggregate' refers to the total score over two matches between the same two teams. It's often used in knockout competitions like the Europa League. If each team wins one match, the team with the higher combined score from both games progresses. Rangers lost 3-2 on aggregate, meaning the total goals scored by Jagiellonia Bialystok across both legs was higher than Rangers'.
