When "full on dominance" results in nothing better than a tie, or at best a winning score of 2 to 1, it seems there may be some liberties taken in the way that phrase is used here. Wouldn't another way of signaling dominance be to actually score a lot of goals? Why isn't that what happens when one team full-on dominates another team?

So if someone who really understand the intricacies of the game could explain how both of those things can be true, that would be great.

Thanks!
