Melbourne Victory

Lawrence Thomas – Siete (7)

Victory’s goalkeeper was very calm and kept a cool head for the full ninety minutes. Overall, he didn’t have much to do, but a fumble which lead to a nervous moment in the goalmouth during the second half was his only lowlight.

Jason Geria – Seis (6)

Some decent runs where made along the wing, with no pivotal moments arising from Geria’s actions. Some aspects of his play where sloppy, but generally, it was a solid performance.

Thomas Deng – Siete (7)

A defensive worker in the background, Deng performed his role well. He was tough, and didn’t let much phase him.

Rhys Williams – Nueve (9)

Composed at the back, Williams was particularly strong at tackling, preventing any chances from the Roar. His primary contribution, of course, was his bullet-like header to open the scoring – a great goal and a great performance from the Victory defender.

Leigh Broxham – Seis (6)

Broxham played a quiet forty-five minutes, making no serious mistakes. He was bullied off the ball at times, which gave the Roar some possession, which they ultimately failed to capitalise on.
