Thomas Kristensen – 5 - Warmed to the contest, and was pinging some beautiful balls forward before injury struck him. Subbed off on the 30th minute.

Fahid Ben Khalfallah – 7 - Had the first shot in anger for his side with a slightly off-target volley. Was one of few Roar players to fight throughout the contest, but his effort lacked result.

Massimo Maccarone – 6 - Sat behind Gameiro in a changed role, and worked well but it clearly took it out of him. His second-half was lackluster, and aside from almost conceding a penalty, had little effect.

Corey Gameiro – 7 - Beat the offside trap with exciting runs, and should have had a one-on-one chance before being incorrectly ruled offside. Would have had a wonderful goal on another night, but Vedran Janjetovic denied him with an incredible save.

Daniel Bowles – 6.5 - Got on earlier than expected following the injury to Thomas Kristensen, and partnered Devere in the centre of defence, but his lack of recent game time showed.

Daniel Leck – 6 – Brought on to spark Brisbane in the 57th minute, and showed some pace, but the ball just wouldn’t fall for him.

Corey Brown – 6 - Came on for Connor O’Toole in the 72nd minute and tried to make up for lost time. The Den chanted for him, but couldn’t turn his side’s fortunes.
