Melbourne Victory

Lawrence Thomas – 7

Looked shaky just a minute in when he clumsily parried Vidosic’s tame effort. Also took a risk to come out and sweep the ball from Wales but his clearance was half-hearted. Despite that shaky start the custodian made a massive stop to deny Griffiths’s long range effort just before halftime. Did really well to take command his area from set-pieces in the second half.

Storm Roux – 6

Without Honda he didn’t have the same attacking impact that he has had this season so far, but kept Vidosic quiet throughout and has continued to impress during his comeback from lengthy injury spells in the past.

Thomas Deng – 6

Was a bit clumsy in possession in the first half with a couple of wayward passes and sloppy touches. It was a solid performance overall by Deng but you can understand why he wasn’t included in Arnold’s Asian Cup squad based off tonight.

Nick Ansell – 6

Got his head onto a couple of dangerous De Laet crosses in the first half but was dragged all over the place by Wales too. Did well to keep things tight when Victory were protecting a lead but lost Vidosic at the back post for City’s equaliser.

Corey Brown – 6

A similar performance to his opposite fullback in Roux, as the former Brisbane man struggled to have a massive attacking influence but also nullified McGree quite well the other way.
