ADELAIDE UNITED

Paul Izzo - 8

Some fantastic saves. Dealt with Toivonen’s early curling effort perfectly and made a similar effort in the second, becoming understandably frustrated at his defence's inability to match his focus.

Michael Marrone - 7

Cracking header rifled off the bar on 15 minutes, another solid display. 

Scott Galloway - 5 

Handballed in his own box on the 26th minute, but it didn’t appear to be intentional. Very tough call, understandable that the VAR didn’t give it. It seemed to rattle him, he made a few mistakes after that.

Jordan Elsey - 7

Very strong and rounded performance for 75 minutes, then it all fell apart for every Adelaide defender, with a few niggly errors in there himself.

He's shown the potential to be one of the league's best centrebacks in the past, so it's tempting to hold him to a higher standard than the one he delivers on a regular basis.

Michael Jakobsen - 7  

Although he can switch off at times and be a tad over-aggressive, he has a fantastic and contradictory calming effect on his fellow defenders, and is proving to be an immense signing for the Reds.    

Vince Lia - 7.5

Playing slightly out of position, retained possession intelligently and had a huge effect on Adelaide's stability. Generally punching above his weight in Adelaide, and not afraid of sticking it to a few opposition players for good measures.
