While Vedran Janjetovic slowly slinks into the darkness, FTBL rates the action as Western Sydney Wanderers coughed up a 2-0 lead - in the final three minutes, this is the Wanderers we're talking about - to draw against Brisbane Roar.
Brisbane Roar
Jamie Young - 6
The star shot-stopper was kept busy by a threatening Wanderers’ forward line, but couldn’t do much to keep his side in the match, lucky to escape with a draw.
Jack Hingert - 6
Made one diving challenge to prevent Kwame Yeboah from steaming through on goal but was outdone on a few occasions.
Connor O'Toole - 5
Picked up a serious head-knock, belted against the post and looked a little dazed after that.
Luke De Vere - 6
A few overly-physical challenges as the ex-Socceroo attempts to exert himself back on the league after a long spell on the sidelines.
Daniel Bowles - 5
A little disappointing in his determination, offering soft responses to Western Sydney’s forward thrusts.
Álex López - 6
Looked tidy in possession but drifted in and out of the game and couldn't build any momentum. Withdrawn in the second.
Dane Ingham - 5
Repetitive and uncreative, gave the ball away cheaply in what-could-have-been dangerous situations.
Joe Caletti - 6
Lacks experience and that dynamic quality that a few other player’s his age seem to have developed by now.
Nicholas D'Agostino - 7
Few who-tos and crosses blasted in to Row Z, but while he’s been in phenomenal form off the bench recently this season, was left wanting by a lacklustre Roar forward line.
Henrique - 7
The Slippery Fish always manages to impose himself on matches, but this was one of his more minor efforts.
Adam Taggart - 7
Nearly invisible in the first half, sprung to life with devastating effect in the second, creating the first, then scoring the equaliser.
Subs
Dylan Wenzel-Halls - 7
Fantastic work-rate, could have scored easily. Needs to get more minutes.
Tobias Mikkelsen - 7
He looked pretty sloppy, as per usual, after his introduction but his goal was simply beautiful.
Jay Barnett - 7
Some fantastic flicks, you can tell why he's a Young Socceroo.
Western Sydney Wanderers
Vedran Janjetovic - 3
Almost completely uninvolved in the first half and after letting the first goal through his legs, conceded an unforgivable lapse of judgement - pretending to, before actually conceding a corner, to gift Brisbane the equaliser.
Tate Russell - 7
Overlapped Bruce Kamau purposefully and did little wrong throughout.
Raúl Llorente - 7
Defended impressively, keeping Ingham under his spell, while offering a few choice crosses going forward – something he’s been knocking about on the training pitch as he seeks to secure his future after Josh Risdon’s return.
Brendan Hamill - 6
Lucky to get away with a few average passes.
Tarek Elrich - 5
Perhaps luckily, he didn’t face much of a threat in the opening half. In the second, he was arguably at fault for both goals.
Marc Tokich - 8
Smooth, composed, two-footed – he has a lot of potential. Most notably, Tokich never seems under pressure, confident in his own quick feet in crowded situations.
Bruce Kamau - 7
Heavily involved, offering a few dangerous cut-backs, but still lacked that clinical ability, taking a few rash touches.
Jordan O'Doherty - 7
A mixed bag, although he looks a promising midfielder he needs to learn to better accommodate for his lack of natural physicality.
Kwame Yeboah - 8
A very active, positive return to his old stomping ground and a brilliantly taken goal on the quick-turn. You can tell a good striker because they always look for the revolving shot, it takes a lot of confidence.
Roly Bonevacia - 8
He’s back to his absolute best at a crucial time for Markus Babbel, a coach he perhaps wouldn’t mind seeing the back of.
Oriol Riera - 5
With the Wanderers signing Mitchell Duke, it would be surprising if Riera stuck around at the end of the season. He’s on a lot of money and has contributed poorly this campaign.
Subs
Jaushua Sotirio - 6
Played a few tidy flicks in a wider position, without creating anything of note.
Abraham Majok - 6
Very quiet and unconvincing.
Tass Mourdoukoutas - N/A
