I don't know which tense to use.

This sentence would normally be said after the game has been lost.
How did they manage to lose against such a bad team.

If the game is ongoing and the team is losing by 20 points how would you say the sentence then.

How are you managing to be losing against such a bad team?
How are you managing to lose against such a bad team?
How do you manage to be losing against such a bad team?
