					Important game in the CL semi-final, how do I beat him?
				
				
						
						
				
					
						
							Sadly I lost in the first leg of the semi-final, 4:3 
Now, what made it even worse is that he played a formation I've never encountered before, a weird 4-2-3-1 with no wingers at all, which looks like this:
	
		
			
			
				DL-DC-DC-DR
DMC------DMC
MC---MC---MC
---------ST--------
			
		
 
	 
 Now, I thought that I will be able to beat him using this formation:
	
		
			
			
				DL-DC-DC-DR
-------DMC------
ML---MC---MR
-----ST--ST-----
			
		
 
	 
 Just before halftime, when I was leading 3-2 (I scored first, he scored 2 goals but then I regained the lead, scoring 2 quick goals), he made a substitution and brought in another striker instead of 1 of his DMCs, changing his formation to a 4-1-3-2 with no wingers, so his team looked like this:
	
		
			
			
				DL-DC-DC-DR
-------DMC-------
MC---MC---MC
-----ST---ST-----
			
		
 
	 
 After he changed his formation, I changed mine to a 4-1-4-1 trying to play a little less attacking and more defensive/holding play. I succeeded with it, even though he almost scored. 
But, in the final minutes of the game, he substituted a DC for an AMC, changing his formation to 3-1-3-1-2, so his team looked like this:
	
		
			
			
				DL---DC---DR
------DMC------
MC--MC--MC
------AMC------
----ST---ST----
			
		
 
	 
 When he did this, I thought I might get the win or at least hold it until the end, but he scored 2 quick goals and I was left frustrated for losing such an important game when I was leading it twice. 
These are the highlights of the game:

Now, after you know what happened in the first game, his formation for our match stayed a wingless 4-2-3-1, and I seriously need to win this game. I believe I am able to, but I want to know what is the best way to beat him, and if he changes formation again to any one of the ones I mentioned, which formation should I use to counter him? 
Here is his team:

Here is my team + tactics:


Help is truly appreciated 
Thanks!
