Elvis Kamsoba - 7  

He looked lively, especially in the first five minutes, but lack of experience and match fitness normally catches up and he slowly faded.

But then he came back after half-time and was arguably Victory's biggest threat, bar Toivonen, in the second period. One to keep an eye on.

James Troisi - 5      

Very quiet, improved marginally in the second half but he hasn't exerted his influence consistently this season. Subbed early for Rahmat Akbari.

Terry Antonis - 7

Smooth ball-mover, constantly looking to rotate and rarely gets caught in possession, Victory had he and Valeri to thank for keeping them in the game early on. Hit the crossbar late with a belter.   

Ola Toivonen - 7  

One particularly dangerous free kick and used his body well. Provided about as much as you could expect from a physical striker when the other opposition's dominating.  

Kosta Barbarouses - 6    

Far from vintage, lost the ball pathetically for someone of his fantastic qualities, but like Kamsoba, sparked into action in the second without providing anything of note.  

SUBS

Rahmat Akbari - 5

Great talent, clearly showing it in training though - not in his cameos so far this season. 

Raul Baena - 6

Hit and miss, not what you want from a foreign import.

Kenny Athiu - 5

King Kenny looks low on confidence, not using his physicality to any real value any more.
