Attention: I'm not a teacher.

Hi beachboy,

Your simple question “Can you think an expression that implies that the team definitely won the game?” has a simple answer: “come up from behind”

come from behind (idiom)

Also, come up from behind. Advance from the rear or from a losing position, as in You can expect the Mets to come from behind before the season is over, or The polls say our candidate is coming up from behind. This idiom, which originated in horse racing, was first transferred to scores in various sports and later to more general use.
Once that has been achieved it is very difficult for a competitor to come from behind .

Goals by Mick Harford and Julian James enabled Luton to come from behind and claim a win that leaves them only three points behind Coventry, the club…

Internazionale had to come from behind to draw with Bari, while Sampdoria beat Verona with a goal by GianLuca Vialli..

Liverpool and Sheffield Wednesday failed to come from behind and overturn first-leg deficits.

Regards.

V.
