It wasn't a Melbourne Derby to remember, but it did have a few telling performances: see how the players rated in Melbourne Victory's 1-1 draw with Melbourne City.
James Troisi - 5
He has games where he looks to lack ideas, especially when he has players like Antonis, Barbarouses and Honda around him. Almost like he tries to do too much, dallies, and wastes opportunities.
Terry Antonis - 5
Shocker in the first half, could have given away a goal had Maclaren had a little more composure.
Kosta Barbarouses - 8
A fantastic equaliser, sure it wasn’t vintage Eugene Galekovic but he ran tirelessly all night for little reward, attempting with some success to play a physical style he’s not cut out for. Sometimes a freakish goal is really a just reward.
Elvis Kamsoba – N/A
Subbed early after Niedermeier’s red.
SUBS
James Donachie – 8
Sensational performance off the bench, the only Victory defender to read Shayon Harrison’s movement adequately.
Ola Toivonen - 7
The big Swede always has a big impact, even when he doesn’t actually do that much.
Storm Roux – 7
Played a free-roaming role to good effect, when he actually got a sniff of the ball.
