What a match

Grammar usage guide and real-world examples

"What a match" is typically used as an exclamation to express excitement or admiration for an impressive game, competition, or pairing. For example, "What a match that was! Both teams played incredibly well."

You can use alternatives like "what a game", "what a contest", or "what a spectacle" depending on the specific context and what you want to emphasize.

While grammatically correct, "what a match" is generally more suitable for informal or conversational contexts. In formal writing, consider using more neutral or objective language to describe the event or situation.

Both phrases express excitement or admiration, but "what a game" is specifically used when referring to a game, while "what a match" can be used more broadly to describe any impressive competition, pairing, or event.
