Note
Every meaning of the verb travels in this form, including the sporting ones. A side concedes a goal when one is scored against it, and in cricket a bowler concedes the runs struck off their bowling. In both cases the score is the object, not the opponent. In argument the verb usually takes a that-clause (she concedes that the point is fair), and it can stand alone when it simply means to yield.
The home side rarely concedes a goal before halftime.
Their opening bowler concedes only twelve runs in six overs.
