Neil Kilkenny 5 –

Lacked ambition in his play, but provided support at times to allow Perth to reshape.

Xavi Torres 4 –

Clearly grew frustrated throughout as his play became ineffectual. This was evidenced in no clearer moment than when he poorly handled a potential late equaliser.

Joel Chianese 5 –

Barely influenced the match having rarely had a touch on the ball, although this can largely be attributed to his constant defensive work.

Chris Harold 5 –

Linked up well with Scott Neville for Keogh’s opener, but was kept at bay from then on.

Diego Castro 7 –

Intelligent play throughout, typical of Castro’s game. Appeared to be intent on replicating his performance last week and therefore came closest to changing the game for Perth.

Andy Keogh 6 –

A well taken header in the first half was his brightest moment as he sought to link up with his midfield

Substitutes –

Mitch Nichols 6 –

Was provided with a large chunk of time to affect the game, which he did to an extent.

Alex Grant 6 –

Brought on and provided defensive solidity in order to reissue the ball to the likes of Castro.

Jacob Italiano 6.5 –

Attempted to encourage significant play in the front third from his introduction. Mishandled a late header and thus still has to wait for his “youngest ever goalscorer” accolade.
