During goalless game, reduced team's rolling with punches (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

one-two

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'punches' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Quick punches' mean 'one two' so perhaps 'punches' could also mean 'one two')

'during goalless game reduced team's rolling with' is the wordplay.
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'goalless game reduced team's rolling' becomes 'oneto' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'with' becomes 'w' (short for with).
'oneto' enclosing 'w' is 'ONE-TWO'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for one-two that I've seen before include "Pair of blows in boxing" , "Soccer move" , "Swift couple of blows at boxing" , "Interpassing at football - left-right at boxing" , "Blow using fists' digits" .)
