Put the car in neutral and Use the brakes for the job they're designed for, stopping/slowing the car. Then if you need ot keep progressing and don't come ot a complete stop after braking, choose your gear accordingly and engage.

I downshift all the time. The only time I don't is when I need to get to a full stop.

Downshifting with no rev-match = fail

Downshifting with good rev-match = win
