Shot efficiency and fouls:books ratio

[Van Banana]

Today I lost 5-2 to a better-rated team (15% more than me) despite outplaying him in every aspect of the game.

I hold my team in high regard but if you saw how stupidly fixed this game was you'd want to stop playing this game all together.

He had 6 shots on target and scored 4 of his goals in literally quick succession. So basically an 83% shot efficiency.
I had more chances, only one less shot on target and only had 40%. I couldn't do anything about it. I even countered his formation.

But that's not even the part that annoys me the most.
He committed 25 tackles and 8 of them were fouls and he got NO yellow cards.
I committed 13 tackles and 9 of the them were fouls and I got a yellow card which led to a free kick which led to a goal.
I would be alright with this had throughout the entire game my tackles weren't on easy and had for the majority pressing wasn't on low.
So am I suppose to assume my players are insubordinate and went balls to the walls or is this game just psuedo tactics?

Starting to really feel the brunt of when this game wants you to lose it's going to make you lose. Not because you deserve to lose, but just because the game doesn't want you to win.
