Kevin Ingreso – 7

Started with a strong challenge that went unpunished. Later delivered the corner that sealed the win for his side after Omid Nazari banged it in for their third.

Mike Ott – 7.5

The diminutive midfielder troubled the Roar defence and eventually laid off a lovely inside ball to Maranon to put the visitors ahead.

Stephan Schrock – 8.5

Broke down the right in good early runs and showed up some opposition defenders. Popped up on the left and put it on a plate for Nazari to tap in but he couldn’t get anything on it. A fantastic overall performance, would not be out of place in higher-reputation leagues. 

Bienvenido Maranon – 8.5

olden boot in the league in the Philippines last season and got a lot of the ball in the early stages before it fell to him from a Super (the player) header. Made no mistake and put the ball over the line to draw his side level. His highlight though was the magnificent goal curled around Jamie Young and into the corner of the goal to put Ceres up 2-1. Subbed in the dying stages for a well earnt rest.

OJ Porteria – 6.5

Pressed high and hard, forced a lot of mistakes from the opposition holding midfielders but didn’t get many chances on the ball.

Omid Nazari – 7

Got free of the defence and should have tapped in after 17 minutes but he was unable to connect with Schrock’s through ball. Made up for it when he finished off a sloppy Roar clearance and booked his side a spot in the next round of qualifying versus Tianjin Quanjian.
