Because the after-clause refers to a real past situation. 'He had played the match' is a real event.
Perfect, Matthew. I now understand.
Now, I have one thing confusing me.
You think "after he had played" is irrelevant and can be omitted to apply the sequence of the third conditional.
then can you use "before" instead of "after" in this sentence?
