What Just Happened ? How Is This Possible ?

[kebess]

I just played a Cup game against a worst team (I had a better player at every single corresponding position, and my tactic was normal, and even somewhat aggressive with my tackles).

My overall team strength was 22.7 (but my line up was even higher, about 25), and the opponent's 20.7 (line up about 20.5), and I had players with more special abilities as well. 8 special abilities for my team, only 2 for his.

I was present during the whole match, which took place in my stadium, and thus I had a bonus of +13% possession. The opponent manager was not present. He had no bonus.

Despite all of the above, the opponent managed to have a grand total of 80% possession at the end of the game ??? 80%, and my team, only 20% naturally.

How is this possible ?? I'm not talking about a lucky 55% / 45%, (or even 60 / 40). This was an absurd 80% / 20% for him, despite all of my advantages stated above.

Please help me understand this, or I'll simply stop this game, because this is nonsense to me, and if this sort of craziness is possible, then I guess, there's something I'm missing.

Thanks.

PS: My problem isn't really losing the match, even though that on its own is pretty amazing, considering all the advantages I had. My problem is how could the opponent have that superiority over my team ?
