Football:
- In American football, a two-point conversion is a PAT where the ball crosses the goal line via run or pass. (In six-man football, however, the traditional PAT kick is worth two points, whereas a PAT via pass or run is only one point.)
- In Association football, the scoring of two goals by one individual in a single match is referred to as a brace.
- The successor of a brace is the "hat-trick", three goals scored by one player.
