First round, I play home with 451v formation and lost 0-1. I was present with 3 supporters, he was absent with no supporter. Second round, he used the same tactic, I played 442 hexagon. He was present this time (he had a lot of hope after the first round win as I was 25% stronger).
I was surprise that his possession was more than me 56% vs 44%, and score a goal at 32".
I thought that I had less midfielders than him, so change my best striker (131%) for a weak MC (70%), while doing it, my AML score the equalize goal. After that, I change to attacking style and from wings to mixed. I scored 2 more goals. The final score was 2-3. Still, he had more possession than me.
My question is that how a weaker team with a high offensive unbalance formation dominate a stronger team?
