Newcastle Jets

Jack Duncan – 4

Beaten from a long way out for the second goal as he pre-empted a deflection which didn’t come. His night only got worse as he and his side shipped five goals.

Jason Hoffman – 5

Tried very hard to turn his side's fortunes in what was his 100th appearance in a Jets shirt. His efforts won the corner that led to the Jets opener. Couldn’t contain Ben Garuccio any longer and accumulated his second yellow, to end an unhappy milestone night.

Nikolai Topor-Stanley – 5

Has to really lift with Boogard’s absence. Won the header which Ben Kantarovski flicked in to bring the Jets back to 2-1 but shortly after was left behind by the fleet footed Ryan Kitto who buried the Reds third.

Lachlan Jackson – 3

A sigh of relief when his early foul led to a free-kick which sailed over the top. Hard shoes to fill in for the injured Nigel Boogard but if Newcastle are to kick on this year he must improve.

Daniel Georgievski – 5

Struggled to deal with the pace of Mileusnic and was almost embarrassed at the start of the second half when he had to chase him down to prevent a third Adelaide goal. Adelaide’s ball movement meant he was pinned back most of the night.
