lopsided win

Not even close

A lopsided win is a victory by a wide margin—one side dominates while the other barely competes.

The term applies to sports, elections, or any contest where the outcome is dramatically uneven: The team's lopsided win embarrassed their rivals.

The image suggests scales tipped heavily to one side.
