To lose when winning is an absolutely sure thing. See John Kerry's bid for the U.S. Presidency in 2004.
In 2004, John Kerry became the ultimate example of how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Dude 1: "Remember that one UFC fight with the Sumo wrestler and the little French guy? Sumo was squeezing the shit outta Frenchy! I thought his head was gonna pop!"
Dude 2: "Yeah, then the little guy squirted a punch 'tween fat bastard's moobs and totally busted his nose. Ref called a TKO."
Dude 1: Fatty totally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, there.

When in online gaming, your or the enemy team does something incredibly stupid in the last minutes of a match, that it costs yours or the enemy team the victory.
We won the match, thanks to the enemy team, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
