Really? This is so overly simplistic
If you go a goal up what is the natural & logical thing to do: push for a second? or drop because the oppo will be pushing hard?
If you have conceded a goal what is the natural & logical thing to do: push for an immediate response? or stabilise and look to nick something in the last few minutes?
I'll bet 80% of football matches ACROSS ALL LEVELS would have a similar profile in the same scenario.
