Synchro Rev Matching and downshifting... confused.

I haven't tried 5 to 2, but just moderately downshifting as I'm coming to a stop, or slowing down in town for a corner has not resulted in the engine braking I'd be expecting, causing a bit of an adrenaline rush; kinda like stepping on the brake and there not being any.
