Jacob Pepper 5.5 – Was guilty of giving Adrian Mierzejewski too much space for Sydney’s second. His effort rate throughout the game wasn’t bad but he might not have used that effort more wisely.

Petros Skapetis 5 – He was the weakest link in the Brisbane attack tonight. Couldn’t find the angle for some important openings and didn’t fashion anything on his own.

Fahid Ben Khalfallah 7.5 – Looked very dangerous early on. Brisbane’s biggest attacking threat in the game, but that said, he was a little quieter in the second half.

Daniel Leck 6 – For a late inclusion into the starting eleven, he looked good. Ran hard and did some nice dribbles. He even had a couple of chances against the very good Sydney defence. On that performance he deserves more game time.

Massimo Maccarone 7 – Is this man really 38? He’s been playing like a man at least six years younger all season. Italians. The hand gestures while they talk must be a good cardio work out. 

Subs

Eric Bautheac 6 – Showed his quality when he was introduced.

Mitchell Oxborrow 4 – Didn’t have long to influence the game and only popped up with one decent involvement in the play.

Rahmat Akbari 4 – Also didn’t have enough time to influence play.
