He brought his A-Game to the match last night.

In English, this means something like he played at the very highest level he could. Is there a good way to say this in Japanese?

I thought about this, but eventually didn't go for it because it seemed like there's a bit more effort and less luck involved in ベストを尽くす than "bring his a-game", but I guess it's close enough. Thanks!
