You were lucky, I think you played a bad formation vs 5-3-2.

not really... dominated him 68% .. and he was even watching .. so i had no 8% advantage .. and we both are same quality
it is simple ... close down all doors he may attack me by filling the gaps .. but letting me having more mid over him to dominate the game and attack his in the central area to isolate his full backs and wingers out of the game.. and it worked like a charm

there is no other way .. i need 2 STs minimum to have a chance of scoring facing his 5 at the back ... and is stupid to attack him at the flanks when he has 2 at each side .. it is only simple logical option that keep me having 5 at back but still 5 in mid and 2 Sts and avoid his strongest area defensively which are the flanks
