Answer:

Worst they had ever played

Step-by-step explanation:

Exaggeration is the representation of something beyond normal i.e in a manner that seems to excessive for the action been represented. it is a figure of speech used to really stress a point when describing an event or an action

"worst they had ever played" is a phrase that was used to really stress the fact that the team played so badly against what was expected from them. telling an onlooker is a straight forward phrase describing an action in the simplest of terms possible hence it can't be said to be an exaggerated phrase.
