let down

1) My favorite team let me down this weekend. They lost four-nil.
2) My favorite team disappointed me this weekend. They lost four-nil.
I think 'let down' is usually used when something has been promised, and yet I find '1' correct. I think '2' is correct too, but sounds less natural to me.
Are they both correct?
Do they mean exactly the same?
Gratefully,
