It went exactly as I expected. Like four years ago, Trump played dumb the first two debates (we were gracefully saved the second one this year), and then played the "See I'm a statesman" card in the final debate. At least he tried hard.
Biden was weak in countering Trumps' lame attacks. I got the impression that the Biden camp only prepared for the raving Trump, so nothing learned from four years ago. Basically Biden never came out of his corner when constantly being (rather lamely) attacked over his 8 years of vice presidency "doing nothing". This was an obvious hook for Trump and I'm really puzzled that the Biden team seemed to be unprepared for it.
So if anyone could be designated "loser", it's Biden's advisory team.
