Nathan Konstandopoulos - 7

An energetic start from the youngster, and made a crisp pass to Strain for one of his great crosses. Also provided plenty of opportunities for his side. Didn’t do well with Elsey’s pass which led to Adelaide conceding their second. Was subbed off in the 55th minute.

Isaias - 6

Had an upbeat start dominating the midfield. The Spaniard rarely puts a foot wrong but a heavy touch in a dangerous area caused his side to be punished.

Daniel Adlung - 6

Good passing, had a few chances but was mainly quiet.

Nikola Mileusnic - 8.5

Clever player who used his pace effectively. Picked out Konstandopoulos from six yards for a chance. Superb in creating space and chances. Excellent to round Jamie Young in the build-up for Blackwood’s goal.

George Blackwood - 6.5

Good anticipation to tap into the back of the net off the rebound.

Ryan Kitto - 7

Closed down Jack Hingert well. Found space among defenders due to his high work rate. Couldn’t capitalise on any chances.

SUBS

Johan Absalonsen - 7.5

The Great Dane returned and came on at half-time, picking out Kitto with neat passes and moments of skill. Sent some good balls into the box. Adelaide fans will be relieved to see him back.

Michael Marrone - 7.5

Skipped past players in the area to take a strike on goal, his shot smacking off the crossbar. Nice cross in for Blackwood’s header. Placed some threatening crosses into the penalty area.
