He still beats him in the end. And besides: Part of the reason Zod gives Superman trouble is because Zod is a soldier, a warrior. Someone who knows how to fight. Superman, while yes, some versions of him do give him training from Batman or Wonder Woman, but most of the time he's just a brawler. A guy who just thinks "Punch them really hard".

Skill CAN make an important difference in battle. But Zod still loses due to the fact Superman is not only stronger then Zod, but he also has had like DECADES using his powers. Zod has no where near the experience with his powers that Sups has.
