It means a team allowed the other side to score. In soccer, if you say a team “conceded a goal,” it means they failed to stop an opponent from putting the ball in the net.

Simple example

  • “They conceded two goals” = the opponent scored twice against them.

In plain English

  • Concede here means “to let in” or “to allow.”
  • You’ll often see it in stats like “goals conceded,” which counts how many goals a team has allowed.

Tiny note

  • The phrase can also mean “admit” or “give in” in other contexts, but in sports it usually means allowing a goal.

If you want, I can also explain the difference between score a goal and concede a goal in one sentence.
