This word is a compound made up of 'auswärts' (away, not at home) and 'der Sieg' (the victory/win). The '-s-' in between is a typical linking element that connects the two parts of the word.

In sports journalism, 'Auswärtssieg' (away win) is often combined with certain verbs. Common phrases are 'einen Auswärtssieg feiern' (to celebrate an away win), 'einen Auswärtssieg erringen' (to achieve an away win), or 'einen Auswärtssieg holen' (to get an away win).

'der Sieg' and 'der Auswärtssieg' both have to do with winning. 'der Sieg' is the general word for the successful outcome of a competition or conflict. 'der Auswärtssieg' is used in sports when a team wins not at home, but at the opponent's venue. The words can be confused because an 'Auswärtssieg' is always also a 'Sieg'. The difference lies in the location of the game. If only the fact of winning is important, you say 'Sieg'. If you want to emphasize that the team won at the opponent's venue, you say 'Auswärtssieg'.
