Assault victory glitch

So I was playing a game of Assault, on the 'Last Stand' 2v2 map. With the attackers on the defenders' home island, and holding 2 of the panels, the defenders secured the third one- and destroyed the WMD.

There is no possibility that the attackers actually took it- I was looking directly at the point when the defenders captured it.

had they taken the other two dishes?

there doesn't seem to be anything coming from the dish there, which could cause it to trigger a win for the other team

while there are plenty of multiwinians around the panel, there doesn't appear to be anyone actually using the panel, the may have got scared away/killed/napalmed

It could have been a sync error that wasn't detected in time. Unless you were the server, then it just doesn't make sense.

@Xaiier: The attackers must hold all the dishes to win, regardless of whether the defenders hold a dish.
Also, there is no beam being emitted because the game is over; the WMD was already destroyed.

@elexis: Look again. The points are lit up green. It's hard to see, but they're there. As I said, it was when I reclaimed the 3rd panel that the attackers won.

@Neatnit: A sync error wouldn't cause an issue of that nature; the different sides would win at different times. Plus, I was indeed the server.

The series of events is a bit confusing; but basically, the attackers took dishes 1 and 3 first, leaving 2 in the hands of the defence. When a reinforcement wave arrived, I sent them at dish 1, taking it offline. Reds held one side of the dish, greens the other. There were only 6 reds and 25 greens there.
The attackers soon attacked dish 2, and took it easily, but were unable to redirect to dish 1 before my next reinforcement wave. I then completely captured dish 1, which falsely triggered the destruction of the WMD.
