Why is it masculine?

Empate is masculine. It is a noun derived from the verb "empatar" (to tie/draw), which comes from the prefix "en-" plus "pata" (paw/leg), literally meaning "to put on equal footing." Spanish action nouns (sustantivos de acción) derived from verbs tend to be masculine, particularly those ending in "-e." While many Spanish nouns ending in "-e" can be either gender, action nouns derived from verbs typically follow the masculine pattern.
