What's a 'draw' in football?

In football, a 'draw' means both teams finish with the same number of goals, like Manchester City and Bayern Munich's 2-2 result. It's a common outcome, especially in competitive matches where teams are closely matched. Draws can sometimes feel like a win if a team was losing, or a loss if they were winning.
