I argue that the team _________________________ to win the game, despite their opponents' superior skill.

The correct answer is "would manage" because it implies that the team is able to win the game despite the odds. "Managed" and "did manage" are in the past simple tense and imply that the team was able to win the game in the past, which is not what is expressed in the sentence. "Had managed" is in the past perfect tense and implies that the team had already won the game in the past.
