How to express the "one-one" in English? I'll explain what I mean below.
I wonder if there's a way to say something in the situation like, let's say, your friend played a trick on you and that made him laughing at you but you didn't feel like laughing. After a while you played a trick on him in return to get back at him and this time you laugh at him, but he doesn't. In Russian we literally say "one-one" in that situation, it's like a score. Do you have something like that?

"Now we're even."

I would say "Now we're one and one." That's most common here, probably. Same meaning, different words.

"I got even."
(In a game, at a moment when the two sides have equal scores, they are said to be "even.")
A fairly common joke sign or bumper sticker says "I don't get mad, I get even." It's intended as a warning.

We sort of say the same thing. Usually we will say names, for example. Dave 1 Joe 0 or Dave 1 Joe 1. Hope this helps, however it's not something I hear often.

We may also say "settle the score."
"He played a trick on me, now I have to think of a way to settle the score."
