Desperate to turn their seasons around, a draw was never going to be good enough for either team, with both coming of winless streaks.
Roly Bonevacia - 6
Worked well with Carrusca but dropped off the second-half.
Steven Lustica – 6.5
Had a bright first 45 minutes, linking up with Carrusca and Riera.
Marcelo Carrusca - 8
The 34-year-old made vital tackles and conducted play. Great vision to spot an unmarked Sotirio with the corner routine.
Jaushua Sotirio - 7.5
Positive start, and was rewarded with a controlled volley to break the deadlock. The speedster looked very dangerous on the wing as usual.
Forced off at the break due to a suspected injury.

Oriol Riera – 7.5
Incredible play to find Bridge early in the match.
Finished home a world class header to double the lead and almost had an assist to his name after a delightful chested pass to Bridge in the 18-yard-box.
Mark Bridge – 5.5
Had an opportunity to open scoring in front of goal, but held onto the ball for too long and scooped an effort over the bar. Lucky for Bridge, Central Coast couldn’t find another goal and he wasn’t left to rue in his missed opportunities.
Subs
Chris Ikonomidis - 6
Positive start to the second half for the new signing.
Brendan Santalab – N/A
Didn’t do enough to warrant a fair rating.
Kearyn Baccus – N/A
Didn’t do enough to warrant a fair rating.
