James Troisi - 5.5

Shaky display. He seems to drop his head too easily after a mistake, a strange characteristic for someone so experienced.

Al Hassan Toure - 6

Spent most of his time chasing shadows unfortunately for United, who have shown that they don’t mind wholeheartedly relying on his electric contributions at times.

Ben Halloran - 7.5

What an incredible strike. At such a pivotal moment in the match, he deserves every plaudit. Pity it couldn’t spark his team into more of a response, because it deserved it.      

Nikola Mileusnic - 6

While he forced Birighitti into his only save of the match, he didn’t contribute nearly enough going forward.

SUBS

Jordan Elsey - 7

Very composed and impressive upon entering, he and Jakobsen performed very strongly in the second half.

Lachlan Brook - 6

It’s testament to Verbeek’s lack of attacking options that upon withdrawing Troisi, Brook was the replacement. As poor as Troisi was, Brook wasn’t exactly an inspiring attacking selection either.

Ryan Kitto - 6

Solid but unspectacular.
