Result closer in reorganised game, ultimately (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scoreline

'result' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'closer in reorganised game ultimately' is the wordplay.
'reorganised' is an anagram indicator.
'ultimately' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'game' is 'e'.
'closer'+'in'='closerin'
'closerin' is an anagram of 'scorelin'.
'scorelin'+'e'='SCORELINE'

(Another definition for scoreline that I've seen is " result".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
