Joshua Brilliante — 7.5

Was determined with his interceptions and relentless in the intensity of his movement to reclaim the ball. A late yellow card lowers his score from an 8.

Brandon O’Neill — 8

Dropped back constantly to create space and provide relief for his teammates. His energy and pressure forced City to backtrack on several occasions.

Alex Brosque — 8

Smart play to win the penalty, tapping the ball slightly past Bouzanis to draw forth the challenge. Defended wholeheartedly from the front, clearly motivating those around him.

Milos Ninkovic — 8.5

Arguably the most entertaining player to watch in the A-League; a classy, well-taken half volley compounded the hard work on City.

Adrian Mierzejewski — 8

Was penetrating in his through balls and got himself on the scoresheet deservedly.

Bobo — 8

The Brazilian became the fastest player to hit twenty goals in a season and looks certain to overtake Fornaroli’s previous goal haul. His brace was clinical, albeit he was lucky in the deflection his penalty took.

SUBS

David Carney — 6

Spread the defence well and provided further angst to City's woes.

Matt Simon — 6

Did what he does best, battling with City’s defence in the late stages of the match.

Paulo Retre — N/A

Lacked time to make an impact.
