Hi Fuja,

Have you got any more details about your team? For instance is there anything in particular that happens with your team in these final 10 minutes?

My guess would be that your players might be lacking in fitness. Therefore in these final moments they experience a loss of concentration and are making mistakes which makes it easier for your opposition to score.

Hope this helps and I look forward to seeing other people's ideas and suggestions.

All the best,

Alex
