In his favor

Is it correct to use “in his favor”this way?

Are both natural?

They played a few games of basketball were not in his favor/the result ended up not be in his favor.


Thank you

These are grammatical but too formal-sounding for everyday speech. You'd more likely hear: They played a few games of basketball, which he lost.
