Brandon O'Neill - 7

Threw himself around like a ragdoll early, then began dictating without much effect.

Adrian Mierzejewski - 6

Looked like he was trying too hard; he was heavily involved, but will be disappointed with his finishing. Ultimately, a hit and miss performance, with some heavy touches hurting Sydney’s rhythm.

Joshua Brillante - 6

A metronome as always, disrupting Adelaide’s counters in the second half with ease. Didn’t contribute much going forward.

Alex Brosque – 6.5

Another who couldn’t quite provide the finishing touch, often missing his targets or losing possession.

Milos Ninkovic – 7.5 

Class as always. He created for Sydney FC, and suffered as his teammates couldn’t capitalise.

Bobô - 5.5

Kept very quiet. Completely off-day, and if there's one thing Sydney lack, it's striking depth.

Matt Simon – N/A
