I think we stood up to them and the ref didn't give too much which worked in our favour. There were a few times they expected to get free kicks and tried to get our players booked and the ref wasn't having it. A few we expected too and he was consistent but overall a good ref helped us.
Also, there was a degree to which for 20 minutes there was only 1 winner and we really were not in the game. Once they had taken the lead, they seemed to stand off us and allow us back into the game. There was then some time that the game was very open. We were convincing once we took the lead.
