Get revenge for last time

Hi

They want to get revenge for the last time.
They want to get revenge for last time.

Do any of the above mean "to get revenge for that last (match)" ?

Thanks!

They both could, if the context suggested it. The first is ambiguous, though. It could mean that they want to get revenge one more time only.

The first is vague, because it could be referring to a match to be played in the future. Together, they were confusing to me, but the second does convey the message you are trying for. I think that previous might be a better choice.
