Hi Thomas, why not set up a conditioned game where one team starts with a 1-0 lead. They then have to defend this lead for a set period of time. This will then help your team practice defending a narrow lead.

I think it has become a mind set for your team winning and then loosing the lead. I see two factors one is they get confident an dthen careless not on purpouse but it happens the other is they keep expecting to get tied at the end or loose the game. how to solve it our friend alex gave you an good idea you cna also have them pactice with a small game 4 forwards 5 defenders  have the forwards play defense and try to keep the defense from scoring for 10 minutes then have them talk about wht happened when they got scored on do this with midfield and then with the defense. they will learn what todo and how important is to be concentrated in the game
