Yup I am agree with sonu. If first sentence is in simple past then second one must be past perfect.

How come you repeat the same sentence as option B when it already exists? The answer is wrong, should have been E not B.

When first is in simple past then second clause must follow in past perfect so ans b is corect.

There are two things tested in this sentence one is comparison and other is tense. We need past perfect "had" as expectation was set before game and then "our player" performance is compared against what author had in his mind so need "worse" comparative word.
