Carl Valeri - 6

A frustrating first half from the Victory skipper led to unnecessary fouls and a few shaky moments in possession. Began to get sloppy in the second half defending in and around the box.

Terry Antonis - 6.5

When Ulsan sprung into life his creative presence was hindered as he fell back to a more controlling role next to Valeri who he often had to cover for. Antonis slowly developed into a more creative player as the game wore on but the constant falling behind by Victory kept hitting his confidence.

James Troisi - 6.5

Created Victory’s first clear cut chance back heeling a one-two with Rhys Williams to set the defender up for a shot that was goal bound but deflected wide. Put a delightful ball in behind for Kenny Athiu but the striker couldn’t control it. A hot and cold performance.

Kosta Barbarouses - 6.5

In the wars early as he was forced to chase balls in the behind that lead to nothing. Was forced backwards to build up play instead of being another thorn in the central defenders side due to Ulsan’s heavy defence.

Leroy George - 8.5

A lively start from the Dutchman and was extremely important for Victory to impose themselves on a rusty Ulsan defence however Ulsan had numbers back deep, nullifying his ability to make an impact with his pace. Clever positioning to take advantage of the Ulsan Hyundai keeper’s fumbled save and a tremendous one-two with Berisha to score the second. Assisted the third equaliser seconds after conceding for Rhys Williams to head home from the free-kick.

Besart Berisha - 7.5

Struggled to impose himself early before he volleyed a shot to the Ulsan keeper who fumbled for Leroy George’s goal. Berisha fended off the defender and linked up with George again for the second equaliser. Substituted after 70 minutes for Kenny Athiu.
