one-two

English

Noun

one-two (plural one-twos)

(soccer) A quick one-touch play between two players.
- 2010 December 29, Chris Whyatt, “Chelsea 1 - 0 Bolton”, in BBC‎:
  A Ricketts and Stuart Holden one-two around the box then created a decent chance for an almost instant equaliser - but Welsh full-back Ricketts blasted over when a calmer finish could have been rewarded.
(boxing) A one-two punch; two punches delivered in rapid succession
Two things in short succession
- November 2 2014, Daniel Taylor, "Sergio Agüero strike wins derby for Manchester City against 10-man United," guardian.co.uk
  Smalling’s quick one-two of yellow cards towards the end of the first half had left an air of inevitability about what would follow and, if anything, it was probably a surprise that City restricted themselves to Sergio Agüero’s goal bearing in mind another of United’s defenders, Marcos Rojo, was taken off on a stretcher early in the second half with a dislocated shoulder.
