That
That is that.
I often come across that sentence as one which marks the end of the written report of the event, especially a sport one.
Here, that is a subject and a complement in the sentence.
My question is: is there any lexical difference between the subject that and the complement one?

I view this as an idiomatic combination from which the individual meaning of the second "that" is not normally isolated. I think it is arguable that the second "that" effectively means something more like "finished" or "done with".
