The Renaissance ideal
The leading thinkers of the Renaissance were not just experts in their own field. The renaissance scholar was expected to master all branches of knowledge.

I suppose the fact that their captain, Giuly had to exit early due to an injury played a major role in the defeat. But ah, well this was a hard match to call, both teams were deserving, only one won out in the end.
