Being a HT newbie still, I could use some insight from those with more experience into what happened in this situation.
If you see my other thread, "Thinking of MOTSing", I had a big game at home against the current series leaders in VI.913, Lecavians. Since I was at home, and didn't want to take the TS hit right now, I played normal, and lost 1-3. The match report, ratings, and my starting lineup is below.
What I would like to know is, what happened? They just got the breaks? They are just superior? (keep in mind, they are a new team like me, and have made only a few token transfers, i.e. non-starters) They beat me at paper/rock/scissors tactically? They MOTSed? (don't think they would.) Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this and make comments.

Greenlight Superior FC - lecavians 1 - 3
Date: 4/28/2003 at 01:00
MatchID: 5606389
Arena: Greenlight Superior FC Arena
Crowd: 10000
10000 spectators had come to Greenlight Superior FC Arena this cloudy day. Greenlight tactics involved an interesting 3-5-2
combination. They fielded: Himmel - Rodquist, Xi, Beocksteiner - Johnson, Álamo, Harley, Guerra, Colvin - Cline, Lowery.
ED: 2 cd's and Rodquist a Wing Back
Team orders -- GSFC Rodquist -> Defensive ,Johnson ->Toward Middle (Experimented with this one, probably won't do it on a regular basis), Alamo ->Offensive, Colvin -> Offensive )
lecavians started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Lineup: Nault - White, Coyle, Breaux - Sams, Jiménez, Smalls, Rubin, Wylie - Baughman, Argiolas Porru.
(ED: 2 CD's, White Wing Back
Team Orders -- Coyle -- toward wing, Sams -- offensive, Rubin -- offensive, Jimenez -- Defensive,
Wylie -- Defensive )
lecavians took the lead in the games 4:th minute with 0 - 1 after some elegant plays down the middle. Charles Baughman was the scorer. Greenlights Daniel Beocksteiner got himself booked after a foul. Virgil Breaux the unlucky victim, couldn´t continue the game. A well placed corner kick from Charles Baughman was followed by Steve Smalls´s hard but accurate header. The nice combination meant 0-2 for lecavians. In the37:th minute Charles Colvin surprised the guests goaltender with a snappy free kick, reducering their lead to 1 - 2. The referee showed lecavianss Adalberto Jiménez the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Adalberto Jiménez increased the visitors lead by putting a volley shot away on a pass from the right. 1 - 3. lecavianss Justin White got himself booked after a foul. Halftime score was 1 - 3. Greenlight held the ball, with a clear 67 percent possession rate.
The crowd was amused as Marlin Wylie of lecavians used a few interesting tricks and dribbles to get into the penalty box. The finish wasn´t very amusing, though. Ashley Lowery was very close to reducing for Greenlight in the 70:th minute, but the visitors right back got his foot out just in the nick of time, blocking to a corner. Greenlight had a brilliant opportunity to reply as Ashley Lowery received a high ball from the right, striking the ball still in the air. Only Charles-David Nault´s reflexes saved him. The referee showed lecavianss Marlin Wylie the yellow card after a particularly nasty challenge. Darrell Cline the unlucky victim, couldn´t continue the game. After 86 minutes Jorge Zuazo could have reduced had it not been for an excellent block by the visitors keeper Charles-David Nault. After several obvious shirt pulling incidents, lecavians´s Seymour Rubin got himself booked. Greenlight held the ball, with a clear 80 percent possession rate.
Most important Greenlight player was Charles Colvin. Jerry Johnson was a disappointment, however. lecavians´s best player was Justin White. However, Charles-David Nault made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 3.
