Thomas Kristensen - 8

Had a superb match, as his great vision allowed him to deliver searching balls to his teammates. His combination with Khalfallah, Holman and Gameiro looked menacing.

Brett Holman - 8

Holman’s still got it. Didn’t stop running throughout the match which allowed him to spark counter attacks and combination play. His exhilaration also allowed him to find pockets of space to glide into.

Matt McKay – 6

Fairly quiet throughout the match but linked-up well.

Eric Bautheac - 8.5

Didn’t receive any Alex Tobin points, but was undoubtedly one of Brisbane’s best on the park. He launched counter-attacks and fed balls through.

Placed a beautiful free-kick into the top corner for the match winner.

Massimo Maccarone - 4

Not the happiest of nights for the Italian, and rightfully so when two clear chances are missed. He lacked the killer instinct after guiding his first chance wide and then missed a sitter. Didn’t do much else until he was subbed off.

Fahid Ben Khalfallah - 7

A solid game for the midfielder, providing crosses in due to great awareness and a neat first touch.

Did lack penetration in the final third despite having lots of possession in key areas.

SUBS

Corey Gameiro - 6.5

Was dangerous and energetic off of the bench, and had a great chance of his own. His side could have doubled their lead if he had the support up front.

Daniel Bowles - N/A

Didn’t do enough to warrant a fair rating

Henrique - N/A

Returned to Brisbane and looked lively, but didn’t do enough for a fair rating.
