Explanation:

The phrase "turn the tables" is an idiom. In the given context, the visiting team was initially likely to win (a certain situation), but the speaker's team changed that situation (reversed it) in the end. Idioms often have meanings that are not directly related to the literal meaning of the words. Here, "turn the tables" doesn't refer to moving furniture (the literal meaning of "tables" as furniture is a distractor), bothering someone, or being social. It refers to reversing a situation.

to reverse a situation
