Isaias — 8.5

Silky, ever reliable and rallied his troops when it was needed as he stepped up and curled a free kick well beyond Jamie Young.

The Reds fans love him and he loves to perform for them, demonstrating his magic on the ball and rectifying his side’s losses by winning back with precision. An indispensable component of Kurz’s side.

Nathan Konstandopoulos — 6

Lacked pace in moments where his good dribbling left him in strong positions to have an edge on the opposition. Brought off after an average first half.

Ryan Kitto — 5

Had a mixed bag of a first half, causing litte hassle for Dane Ingham whilst nearly finding a goal of his own late in the first half.

Craig Goodwin — 9

The peripheral Socceroo had to step up as his side went down a man in the first half, earnestly attempting to push his side forward to no avail as they were tightly marked by the Roar midfield.

With a few key substitutions, Goodwin was critical to changing the game for his side, scoring Adelaide’s second following Jamie Young’s sending off and his resultant free kick hitting the wall.

Ken Ilso — 1

Undeniable frustration rang out around Coopers Stadium following the dismissal of the Danish striker, who left his studs up on Matt McKay following a contest for the ball. From afar, it appears a cruel decision so early on.

George Blackwood — 6

Left isolated up front following the loss of his striking partner early on and had to wait patiently for his opportunity to strike, which he did, prodding home a header and the equaliser at 3-3 beyond Brendan White. Beyond taking his opportunity with class, he had a quiet game.

Subs

Mirko Boland — 7

Had a substantial impact from his introduction, adding some knowhow and stylishness to Adelaide’s play with his experience. Found some of his splintering drives unluckily blocked.

Nikola Mileusnic — 8

Whipped in some good crosses and was a significant part of Adelaide’s eventual comeback. Rose highest at the back post to put Adelaide ahead in the final minutes of extra time, culminating what was an insane match of football. What a hero.

Carlo Armiento — 7

His short cameo will no doubt be memorable for the youngster, as a mixed ten minutes peaked with the winger sending a divine cross in to the box, to which Mileusnic lapped up with sheer delight and headed past White in the Roar goal.
