"Come off second best" -> nghĩa là đứng vị trí thứ 2/hạng nhì sau khi hoàn thành xong phần thi hoặc cuộc thi đấu.

Ví dụ
Deyrann De Carjac has already come off second best to Champ over fences, but undeterred trainer Alan King is taking him on again and is buoyed (thả phao) by the prospect of drying ground.

The most memorable and iconic moment in Premier League history, City’s heroic injury-time comeback to snatch the title from rivals (đối thủ) United will never be forgotten. It is the pinnacle of ‘The Barclays’. Trailing and looking to have come off second best to their hated enemy yet again, it felt like the same old story.

Even if it isn't an end-to-end, rollercoaster (tàu lượn siêu tốc) ride of a game, you can be pretty damn sure you'll get bang for your buck. There'll be blood, sweat, and tears, plus plenty of yellow cards, and the occasional red. No one wants to come off second best when Liverpool lock horns with Everton, making it a truly enthralling (làm mê mệt, mê hoặc) fixture.
