because the word on the contrary fits in the sentence as the team did not get discouraged on the contrary it started playing a more aggressive game.

the word consequently shows as a result of one situation the other happens. but on the contrary shows that the two situations are opposite

in the above sentence if the team would have given up then we use the word consequently but the team did the opposite hence we use on the contrary
