Games are always decided by chance (if anyone brings the "chance doesn't really exist" arguments into this thread, you will get my wrath). The chance that one team will beat another is influenced by the skill of the team.
It's not pure luck. The chance of one team beating another is affected strongly by the skill involved, among other factors. If it was purely luck, a team of wheelchair-ridden ten year-olds should have an equal chance of winning against a professional football team.
