The article changes with the case; it is shown in colour.
'Gegentor' (goal conceded) is made up of the preposition 'gegen' (against) and the noun 'Tor' (goal). So it describes a goal that was scored 'against' one's own team.
Die Abwehr konnte das Gegentor nicht verhindern.
The defense couldn't prevent the goal conceded.
When a team concedes a goal, the verbs typically used are 'kassieren' (to concede) or 'bekommen' (to get). The opposite is to 'verhindern' (prevent) a goal from being conceded.
Unsere Mannschaft hat in der letzten Minute ein Gegentor kassiert.
Our team conceded a goal in the last minute.
This word is used exclusively in sports, especially in team sports with goals, such as football/soccer, handball, or ice hockey.
Nach dem ersten Gegentor spielte die Mannschaft viel nervöser.
After the first goal conceded, the team played much more nervously.
