Luke Brattan – 7

The former Roar player consistently turned defence into attack and his range of passing benefitted the wingers ahead of him.

Osama Malik – 7

Had there been a VAR check in the first half, Malik would have certainly conceded a penalty. Much to John Aloisi’s frustration, the VAR remained unchecked and Malik escaped punishment for a foul on Hingert. Other than that, Malik’s passing was and break-up play was spot on.

Scott Jamieson – 7

On his 200th A-league appearance, Jamieson was never too far from the action or the referee’s ear. In all fairness, a couple of decisions wrongly went against him and he made his frustration clear.

Stefan Mauk – 7.5

Mauk’s moment came in the 66th minute, when a defensive error gifted the ball to Budzinski in a wide position. Sprinting into the box came Mauk, who had to extend his neck in order to head the ball home.

Daniel Arzani – 8

The youngster constantly looked to pick holes in Brisbane’s defence and his persistence paid off when he found the vacant feet of Budzinski. How Arzani didn’t give City the lead moments later with a free shot at goal, only he knows. By far the most exciting player on the pitch, despite his “bad habits”.

Dario Vidosic – 5.5

It’s fair to say Vidosic wasn’t the most potent striker on the pitch and had a relatively quiet game.

SUBS

Nicholas Fitzgerald – 6

The Brisbane defence thought the worst was over when Arzani was substituted, but Fitzgerald had other ideas. As Brisbane pushed forward looking to level things, the winger found space but made couple of bad decisions in the process.

Bruce Kamau – did not see enough of the ball to warrant a fair rating.

Manny Muscat – did not see enough of the ball to warrant a fair rating.
