It's becoming difficult to rate an opposition side against the Big V; like Craig Goodwin said "they're just so good."
Ryan Strain - 7
Pushed forward dangerously as always, becoming a fantastic utility option for Adelaide. Experience and calm cohesion belies his years.
Isaías - 6.5
Silky smooth on the ball, final passes were excellent, but he lost control of the midfield completely towards the end.
Craig Goodwin - 7
Not his most involved performance, but played a larger role defensively with aplomb. Was unable to transition this effectively and consistently into an attacking outlet.
Apostolos Stamatelopoulos - 6
Missed a clear chance in the second half when heavily under pressure, but worked incredibly hard over the match.
Ben Halloran - 6
Reasonably involved, couldn't do anything with an opening on the 73rd minute, failing to chip Thomas. Played a big role pressing from the front.
SUBS
Nikola Mileusnic - 6
Almost scored and almost knocked out Lawrence Thomas in the process from a miss-hit cross.
Carlo Armiento - 7
Adelaide City product making his A-League debut, had a few fantastic touches to remember.
Nathan Kostandopolous - 5
Few loose balls, couldn't make an impact.
