Western Sydney Wanderers continued their renaissance as they notched consecutive wins for the first time this season and took down Adelaide United 3-1 at Coopers Stadium, courtesy of a Roly Bonevacia masterclass.
Keanu Baccus – 7
Cool and tidy in possession, he kept the game ticking along nicely and barely put a pass wrong. Two wins in a row and the announcement of a 3-year contract extension with the Wanderers, Baccus will be quite pleased with his week.
Jordan O’Doherty – 6.5
O’Doherty was a dependable midfielder for Markus Babbel tonight as he shielded the defence well and pressed the opposition when necessary.
Roly Bonevacia – 9.5
Bonevacia continued his exhilarating form as had a night to remember, completely running the show with direct involvement in every goal for the Wanderers. Started off the night with a delightful assist, scored the second off a fortunate deflection and put Majok through for the third. With performances like this, it’s not hard to see why Perth Glory are reportedly interested in him.

Abraham Majok – 6.5
Consistently got behind the defence throughout the game but couldn’t get his decision-making right in the box. Finally took his chance late in the second half to clinch the three points for the Wanderers.
Bruce Kamau – 7
Made a few good runs in behind that troubled the Adelaide defence but his final ball was lacking. Had a decent game before being replaced by Mitchell Duke in the 67th minute.
Oriol Riera – 7
The Spaniard will be relieved to finally get back on the scoresheet after 8 matches without a goal. Was a classic Riera goal as he gave himself space to run and put in a diving header to give his team the lead.

Mitchell Duke – 7
Duke continued to have an impact from the bench as his headed pass for Bonevacia from a goal kick was the catalyst to put the game beyond doubt as his header eventually led to the Wanderers’ final goal.
Alexander Baumjohann – 6
Baumjohann returned from a lengthy injury spell and retained possession well to deny Adelaide as much of the ball as possible as the Wanderers looked to preserve their lead.
Rashid Mahazi – 6
Mahazi came off the bench late but still had time to get a shot on goal, though it was straight to Izzo.
