Who shone for a slick City and who was wonderful for the Wanderers?
Western Sydney Wanderers
Vedran Janjetovic (GK) - 9
What a night for the Wanderers shot-stopper, an excellent right-footed save to deny McCormack in the 10th minute, then denied a Fitzgerald chance, again brilliant with a diving save to knock away McCormack’s free-kick.
He was unlucky with the penalty, but otherwise a stunning performance.
Robert Cornthwaite -7.5
As per usual, the tall defender won aerial duels and was solid for the majority of the game. Had to clean-up for his other defenders at times.
Michael Thwaite - 7
Was solid defensively, especially to put off McCormack. Became aggressive with his runs in the second-half, desperate to get the ball up field.
Brendon Hamill - 6.5
Bit of a heavy touch, and had to be bailed out by Corthwaite, but as the game wore on he began to make up some ground, and put in a better performance.
Raul Llorente - 7.5
Was very silky with the ball, and that was evident when he sent a beautiful ball in to assist Sotirio.
Unfortunately, he gave away the game-changing penalty, which dampened his performance.
Roly Bonevacia - 8
Started off quiet but woke up as soon as he played a classy ball through to Riera in the 23rd minute.
Nice combination with the rest of the forwards and Mark Bridge. Put in some great work defensively too.
Kearyn Baccus - 6
Gave away a free kick on the edge of the 18-yard-box early in the game, and was saved by his defenders many times. A few great tackles in the second half.
Mark Bridge - 7
Worked hard defensively and won midfield battles. Made a positive run in the 18th minute but the pass onto Oriol Riera was a touch too heavy.
