Usage Note

Eguagliare (also spelled uguagliare) means to reach the same level as something else — in sports, eguagliare un record means to equal a record. It is synonymous with pareggiare for tying a score. The variant spelling uguagliare is equally correct; eguagliare is slightly more formal.

Examples

"Ha eguagliato il record mondiale dei 100 metri."

Natural Translation

He equalled the world record in the 100 metres.
