Now, two even teams, can team A go out and play a great game, but team B played one step ahead and team B wins

The game is over.  Is it possible for team A to say, "We just got beat today.  We played well, team B just played better."

(I don't know if I've ever heard a coach in football say this.  Baseball, yes, plenty of times.)

Coaches give credit to the team that just beat them all the time in their post game pressers.  Hobspin used to include the opposing team in his post game transcript and just about every one of them gave credit where it was due.  They spend more time on what their team didn't do but they don't seem shy about calling it like it was.
