Compare with
Endstand vs Ergebnis
result
'das Ergebnis' and 'der Endstand' can both mean the score at the end of a game, competition, or election. 'Ergebnis' is the more general word and can also be used outside sports and elections. 'Endstand' is more precise when it is about numbers or points at the end. In a match report, 'Endstand' therefore sounds very natural, while 'Ergebnis' sounds a bit more general.
