Answer:

The Tigers win the game by a single goal.

Explanation:

A phrase is a group of words that does not contain either a subject or a verb; and an adverbial phrase is a phrase that modifies, describes or gives further detail to an adjective, a verb or another adverb. They often answer questions such as "Why?", "How?", "When?", "Where?" and "In what circumstances?".

So, in "The Tigers win the game by a single goal" sentence, "by a single goal" is the adverb phrase because it modifies the verb "win", and it also answers to the "How" question: "How do The Tigers win the game?" Answer: "By a single goal."
