$player2 = new Player(800);

$goalIndexHandler = function ($score1, $score2) {
    $diff = abs($score1 - $score2);
    if ($diff > 0) {
        return sqrt($diff);
    }
    return 1;
};

$homeCorrectionHandler = function ($home, $diff) {
    $coefficient = 100;
    if ($home == 1) {
        return $diff - $coefficient;
    }
    if ($home == 2) {
        return $diff + $coefficient;
    }
    return $diff;
};

$match = new Match($player1, $player2);
$match->setScore(1, 0)
    ->setK(32)
    ->setGoalIndexHandler($goalIndexHandler)
    ->setHome(2)
