Yes. The object of the game isn't to hit the post or cause the keeper to make saves. It's to score goals. If team a scores one goal from one shot and wins 1-0, while team b have 20 shots, hit the post 6 times and force a dozen saves, team a are the better team.
Saying you deserve to win a football match because you've hit the post the most times is like claiming you deserve to win at Monopoly because you've rolled the most doubles.
