	Earlier today, two professional sports teams representing two different geographical locations competed in an adversarial game wherein the respective teams attempted to transport an object toward the opposition's territory in order to score points. The team with the greater number of points when time expired would be declared the victor of the game.
	The two teams employed different strategies that emphasized their respective strengths. One team had a slightly greater focus on attempting to score points. The other team had a slightly greater focus on preventing the opposing team from scoring points. Both teams employed a variety of players with a wide array of individual talents and skills.
	Going into the game, the coaches, coordinators, and leading players on each team were confident in their ability to score more points than the opposing team before time expired.
	"We have been training and practicing hard in the days leading up to this match, and we are ready to play our best," said the coach of one team.
	"Statistics may show that we are not favored to win this game," remarked a pivotal player of the opposing team, "but knowing that just makes us play harder to make up for it."
	After the game began, both teams were able to score some points against each other using a variety of techniques typical for the sport. By happenstance, one team had scored a greater number of points than the opposing team after approximately half of the game's time limit had elapsed. There was a brief respite available for the teams to rest and discuss tactics for the remainder of the game.
	When questioned about strategy, the coach whose team had scored fewer points at that point in time said to the media crews on-site, "We are going to review our strategy and have a spirited pep talk before resuming the game. Our score deficit is not insurmountable. We are still mathematically able to win if we play better and score enough points."
	The opposing coach said to the media crews, "We have been playing hard, and we will continue playing hard. As long as we have maintained a greater number of points up until time expires, we will win the game."
	After play resumed, both teams put forth an admirable performance, and both were able to score some additional points. When time had completely elapsed, one team had scored a greater number of points than the other, and was therefore declared victor of the game.
	In post-game interviews, the defeated team was disappointed, but remained upbeat. "We will review what happened today and work hard to correct the mistakes," vowed the coach of the defeated team. "We will come back from this stronger, and as a better team than before."
	The players and supporting staff of the victorious team were pleased with their efforts. "This proves that when you score points and prevent the opponents from scoring as many points as you, you will win the game," said a person representing the victorious team.
