Based on the result, you abandoned so you must have been disconnected from the Live server for too long
forfeiting isn't that complicated. Just press the abort button with the flag next to it. After the first two moves, the abort button changes to a resign button, so you should abort quickly or else it becomes resigning.
You can't forfeit a game after you play it, and disconnecting gives you around 2 minutes to reconnect after disconnecting before it becomes auto-resign, and if you stall it gives you 30 seconds or so
