I'm sure there's an idiom/phrase that means that. I thought of plus one but found out it means a person who goes with you to an event.
What's the correct idiom/phrase? Example sentence:
She smiled at my joke. Yes, __.
Learn English – Idiom/phrase that means “a point in someone’s favor”

If the person saying “Yes, ___” is the same person who said the first line (or someone sympathetic with/rooting for the speaker of the first line), then the blank could be filled with (and I’d use an exclamation point after “Yes”):
Please note that Urban Dictionary uses “Count” to introduce the expression, but I’m more familiar with the phrase being started with “Score …”(400 or so hits on Google Books) or sometimes “That’s … ” (10 or so).
Regardless, I agree with their definition:
(Urban Dictionary also lists the expression’s antonym using “the away team,” whereas I would use “the visiting team,” “the other team,” or simply “the visitors” in contexts where the speaker wants to express disappointment, for example if she DID NOT smile at the joke:
“Yes, score one for the visitors.”)
