Squad Battles AI scores on me when I'm in pause menu

I have had something similar. At half time in a Squad Battles, I quick pressed resume then paused again straight away because I forgot needed to make a sub for an injured player. Made the substitution, unpaused and the game was on a corner at my end!

Tested it again by deliberately pausing a few more times in games straight after half time and sure enough, every time the gameplay kept going in the background and I returned to either a corner or a goal kick at my end.
