I'm really surprised because his formation had an average strength of 44 while mine was only 36! Seems to be not that big of a difference after all, huh?
Strange thing...
44 vs 36 is still not a huge gap, if you pick the right counter formation and tactics, you can definitely win. If 44 vs 22, then it will be another story, but winning is still possible if the weaker side play defensively with 4-1-4-1 or 5-4-1 for example. I drew a match against a much much weaker team that played very defensively also.

What's the score of the official league match?
