So the game starts. Quick yellow card for his best player, the only 5 star of the team since the rest is 3 stars. Animation for me, my 7 star strikers misses the goal. Another animation, I hit the pole. OK....... Next animation for him and of course he scores 1-0. Is it going to be this kind of game again? I get animation after animation but no score. I get a bunch of text. Free kick for my 7 star free kick specialist. Blocked and corner. Corner taken and another corner. Corner taken and intercepted. 45 minutes into the game and 1-0.......... Oh boy.
Second half start and I check the ratings. His defence is on an average of 5,5. His goalie however is at 5 savings on my 5 shots and scores 8,5. My average is somewhere around 7,5????? Nordeus what the heck. Finally at the 53rd minute I score 1-1. Maybe I am going to win this. Another shot missed. Another free kick wide. I can feel what is coming. 66th minute, I score 1-2. Finally after 20 shots and 7 at target I am in the lead. My advisary gets an animation. Nordeus, come on, you can't be that cruel. Right? Right? He passes my defense, he shoots and....... he hits the pole. Wow. That was close.
His ratings are dropping faster then a meteor in our atmosphere. Mine are rising like mad. And the score is 1-2..... Animation after animation but no score. 81th minute a new animation. I see my free kick specialist take a free kick from the side and YESSSSS 1-3. For crying out loud, about time. 88th minute my AMC breaks through and he scores 1-4. So finally a little walk in the park.
Now to get to the point. I had about 15-20 animations in this game. I had 27 shots with 11 on target. I had 80% possession, 5 free kicks and 11 corners (somehow he got 7 corners and not 1 animation for it). My rating was 2,1 points higher then the advisary. Yes, that is 2,1!!!! higher. And I only win the game in the last 10 minutes? Oh well I won but it was intense.
