Melbourne Victory

Lawrence Thomas - 5.5

Made some good stops in the first half and has to be commended for keeping the score only at three.

Storm Roux - 4

Looked rusty after his return from international duty. Roux played a lot of aimless long balls that reached no teammate.

James Donachie - 5.5

The strongest member of his defensive unit but that’s not saying much.

Thomas Deng - 4.5

Another who looked weary after the international break. Deng looked uncomfortable bringing the ball out from the back and was awkward both at centre back and right back.

Adama Traore - 4.5

Not his best game at left back and made way in the second half. Traore was beaten by even Blackwood on several occasions.

Brandon Lauton - 6

The young Australian enjoyed a great battle with Maria on the right and found joy getting to the byline several times. It was a shame for Victory when he had to be substituted.
