We may lose after performing really well (9)
I believe the answer is:
awesomely
'really well' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb which matches the answer.
'we may lose after performing' is the wordplay.
'after performing' is an anagram indicator.
'we'+'may'+'lose'='wemaylose'
'wemaylose' anagrammed gives 'AWESOMELY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for awesomely that I've seen is " impressively".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
