It's more than that even. Both teams played by the same rules and one of them played better through the game. It is not the end of the game (or the result of the late train)that decided the results.
If the losing team had scored more points, if their defense had been a little better, if you had planned for traffic/delays... these are the deciding factors. The conclusion is the conclusion - but we tend to discount all the factors that made the conclusion happen.
