I do switch it to free movement, and I've tried to do the hide behind your own goalie. Problem is I don't make it to my own goal fast enough to avoid being stopped like six times, so by then I'm just giving them the ball close to my own goal (thus just giving them a free point).

I can beat the tournament now myself the good old fashioned way, but it's still obnoxious and requires several reloads if I'm unlucky.
