Same thing happened to me in more than one game where I went for "Instant result". I do not manage ("view") all games anymore in the game, so every once in a while I go for the result if I'm happy with the initial setup. Then players come an complain about my "half time team talk"
Ah, they do not always COMPLAIN, there have been times where they praised me for turning the game around. I would not ask for credit in that as well
