Actually, that first match, one of your alliance's very early shots (I want to say auto!) missed wide left. As in, between me (scoring the red goals) and the wall. Not through the wall, not over the wall, to the left of the wall. That's where field reset made a mistake and ran the ball clear back to your driver's station, instead of the nearest human player (in the red box to my right, between me and the head ref), which resulted in the foghorn sounding for immediate replay.

Then the pedestal problem kicked in in the rematch.
