3N-1-4-2 or 3N-4-1-2 are both excellent formations vs 4-4-2 classic and should win most of the time. In this case, the NJ Aeros should have won considering the quality differential.
The red card changes it to a 50/50 for me.
I think your tactics in this game are the cause, because you had only 4 shots on net, 0 freekicks and 4 corners, with more possession (barely) than him. If you were attacking, mixed, whole pitch, normal, mixed, zonal, no offsides or counters, then you should have won this even with the red card - 9 times out of 10 vs this quality opposition.
Bummer dude

Get yourself a tissue, wipe off those tears and analize what you did wrong, stop looking for something that isn't there, you had very bad tactics and that's why you lost.
Tactics were:
Defensive first half, Attacking second
Passing was through the middle, then I switched to mixed 30 min in
Pressing the whole pitch
Normal tackling
Mixed passing
Man on Man
the only thing I think I messed up on is passing looking back...
