It's official. Mike Mulvey’s Central Coast Mariners have had the worst start to a season in A-League history, knocking the now decommissioned New Zealand Knights off their lowly perch.
Newcastle Jets
Glen Moss- 7
Quiet first half and not at fault for the opening goal. Saved Pain’s one-on-one in the 63rd minute. Fairly untested in the second half as well.
Daniel Georgievski- 8
A great defensive display. Was involved in 12 defensive duels with a success rate of 100%.
Nikolai Topor-Stanley- 8
Strong defending. Like Georgievski, won 100% of his defensive duels.
Nigel Boogard- 7
Unable to track Matt Simon for the opening goal. Played a solid game thereafter including some important tackles as the Mariners sporadically counter-attacked.
Jason Hoffman- 8
Scored the equalizer from Dimi’s well-weighted corner. Made good overlapping runs but lacks certain attacking qualities.
Turned the ball over badly to Connor Pain who fluffed his lines in the second half, a game-changing moment.
