Maybe your lacking in parenthesis if you want that way please rewrite your script to this select((select SUM(HOME_SCORE) total from MATCH ) + (select SUM(AWAY_SCORE) total from MATCH)) as "GOALS SCORED" From dual ;

or to simplify this you can try this select(select SUM(HOME_SCORE) + SUM(AWAY_SCORE) total from MATCH ) as "GOALS SCORED" From dual ;
