Michael Jakobsen — 4

The late shuffle clearly had an effect on the captain as he lacked the diligence and poise that typifies his game.

Luke Brattan — 5

Unusually lacked composure in his play as he was forced in to errors by the intensity of the Sydney midfield. Despite this, he was always opting to push forward ambitiously with his passing

Stefan Mauk — 5

Rarely given an opportunity on the ball and therefore hardly shaped the match.

Marcin Budzinksi — 5.5

At times appeared to influence the match positively, fashioning out rare opportunities for Sydney

Dario Vidosic — 5 

Improvised well on occasion but was kept quiet by the boisterous Sydney defence.

Daniel Arzani — 7 

Oozes confidence and was City’s danger man from the offset. Left understandably frustrated consistently by the lack of service from his teammates.

SUBS

Bruno Fornaroli — 6 

Five months out, Fornaroli nearly had a goal on return, but was caught out for a foul on Bujis. Had a few opportunities after his ruled out goal, but clearly lacks game time.

Denis Genreau — N/A 

Lacked time to make an impact.

Bruce Kamau — N/A

City needed his pace and driving runs earlier, he barely had time to make an impact.
