showed up

Came as expected

Showed up is the past tense of show up, meaning to arrive or appear: She showed up late to the meeting.

It also means to expose or embarrass someone by outperforming them: The rookie showed up the veteran players.

A third sense is to make something visible or apparent: The bright light showed up every flaw in the paint.
