Rode their luck would do in this case. It means that it didn´t lose only by their good fortune.
Their success was by chance or good fortune, rather than by risk taking.

Cheltenham has been riding their luck lately, winning their last two games on penalty kicks alone, but they'll need to step up their game if they hope to have a place in the championship.
Many would say that this last example (sentence) is indeed a case of "pressing one´s luck/pushing one´s luck", taking unnecessary risks! (abusar da sorte...)
