He was lucky that his opponent was not able to make better decisions than those in the game. The assumption of course is that the opponent should have sufficient chess knowledge to avoid making the errors made in the game, based on his rating.
If there was no luck in chess, we would never see players fall for a trap or swindle. We would also never play on in an objectively losing position, hoping that our opponent will make an error to get us back in the game.
