Squad battles difficulty

So I just finished my first game of the battle of the squads in fs 26. My team is 83 rating, 23 cohesion, and I played against a team with a rating of 73 with cohesion 3 on world class difficulty. I scored 3 goals relatively quickly, and in the second half everything turned around. A team with a rating of 73 and cohesion 3 turned into at least a quarter-finalist in the Champions League. While I was trying to make a pass, I was already covered by instant high pressure, so I didn't have time to press the button or turn the stick. And while I was once again trying to switch to the right player with the right stick during defense, the opponent's players showed world class and scored one after another, including a classic goal that tied the score at 90+3. And then, according to the usual scenario, everything came down to a penalty shootout, where of course the opposing team of stars won. I am infinitely grateful to you, ea sports. For everything.
