Spanish term or phrase: cosecharon una primera derrota

Traduciendo al inglés un artículo de fútbol, encuentro esta expresión " cosecharon su primera derrota", normalmente "cosechamos" como una victoria, pero al utilizar "derrota" no se me ocurre como traducirlo al inglés. Any ideas? Thank you very much in advance!!!!

Altogringo: Definitely the template, although garnered their first defeat is perfectly acceptable. They could reap their first victory, though.

8 mins confidence:

they garnered a first defeat

Explanation:
This verb uses the same idea as "cosechar", as in to gather in a harvest, reap. And it similarly would suggest something successful but can be used negatively in the same way.
