Default Tevez vs. Vidic, the aerial challenge!

In my game, Lyon has bought Vidic and Scarface has moved to Atletico Madrid.

I've left Werder for Lyon and in the group stage of the Champions League I'm at home against Atletico.

Tevez manages to score both goals for Atletico in a 2-2 draw. One of the goals he scores on a glancing header, beating Nemanja Vidic. I'm thinking, "that's a freak occurance. Good for the lad".

In the next game, in Madrid, we also draw 2-2. This time Tevez owns Vidic yet again, in the air. So, that's two times now, in the space of 3 weeks. Somehow I find that hard to believe.

I mean, Vidic is 188 cm, with 19/19 jumping/heading, whereas Tevez is 171 cm and 13/10.

What do you guys think of this? Is it possible IRL?

if memory serves this was another "known issue" and will be addressed with the full patch, i'm currently witnessing the same tevez beating john terry from goal kicks....
now i can understand crosses and corners occasionally falling to the striker, but tevez vs terry for a goal kick.....come on please SI, this is pretty basic stuff.

I believe Eduardo beat Terry this summer for the headed goal he had against England.

Agreed we can argue that its about awareness, but the poster put the idea that its 2 timesin 3 weeks.

For me, no this isnt an accrate representation given an average, but if i hear no mor then this somes down to a fear occurance
