Bearskin Hat op?

[PokeChimp]

I was in the red tournament with a player with a bearskin hat, a music bag, and a ninja star while I had the ice cream hat, the Fuji labrum, and I also had the ninja star as well. While we were fighting, I was able to make three sabotages while the other player made none. When the results were in, he ended up with 966 shield while I only had 600 something. The player was level 32 and I was level 31. Even though his ability worked with me only having a two winning streak, how is it possible that he won? In fact, almost every red I lose to either has the pilot goggles or the bearskin hat. What are your thoughts on this?

@dstar21 Your opponent must have made a lot of match-4s with non-Red panels.

He might have been lucky during bonus time. @mighty-red-1 could be right too.

the boost from items with gold winning streak still is very high

and what about the attack
