Russian term or phrase: протекать на встречных курсах
In this context, would you say that this works?

"After the half time interval, the game started to go in a different direction".
После перерыва игра стала протекать на встречных курсах.

Or something more along the lines of a "head-to-head" or "wide open" game as suggested on multitran?
