MELBOURNE VICTORY

Lawrence Thomas - 6 

Once again, rushed in where less confident, and perhaps wiser goalkeepers would be fools to tread. Looked scrappy for both goals but had his redeeming moments in the second half.

Storm Roux - 5 

Caught out badly for Adelaide's opener and couldn't help but let a rampaging Mileusnic have his way for the first half.       

Corey Brown - 5

Heavily involved as Adelaide targeted the left fullback, lucky to escape the first half with a single yellow card.      

Leigh Broxham - 7 

A few sloppy passes destroyed Victory's confidence at the beginning of the match, but he also provided some sensational clearances, acan't get enough of his goalline saves. 

Thomas Deng - 6 

Just in case anyone was wondering why he's not in the Asian Cup squad. He'll come back from this horror show a smarter defender because he's got bags of talent - which he showed it in the second half - but pwoah talk about brain fades.   

Carl Valeri - 7

Very tidy skills and passes, did his best to stabilise Victory and played a large part in his side weathering Adelaide's early surge.
