Good question, I have no idea so asked artificial intelligence...
While specific 1980s-only datasets are rare, historical analysis and notable matches from the era illustrate the following trends:
Winning Probability: Teams with a player sent off had only a 23% chance of winning and an 18% chance of drawing.
Goal Disadvantage: A red card at half-time historically reduces a team's expected goal difference by approximately 0.85 goals.
Defensive Resilience: High-profile 1980s matches showed that elite teams could sometimes overcome the deficit. In the 1985 FA Cup Final, Manchester United became the first team to have a player (Kevin Moran) sent off in a final but still managed to beat Everton 1–0 in extra time.

Can't compare because you can't say 10 men now it has to be 10 players
