Melbourne City

Eugene Galekovic – 7.5

A sensational masterclass of goalkeeping from the veteran, who made two crucial saves throughout from Antonis early then Honda right at the end. Was able to claim many crosses with relative ease, despite a cluster of bodies in front of him.

Ritchie De Laet – 7

Brought over all of his experience from England into an excellent display. Right from the start, De Laet made himself a creative outlet on the right before showing great reactions to follow in the penalty for City’s equaliser.

Bert Schenkeveld – 6

One of those defenders who is very consistent and you know what you will get from him week in, week out. That was no different here, the Dutchman putting in another solid display, winning many aerial duels as well as covering Delbridge when he was beaten.

Iacopo La Rocca – 6

Playing in his first match for City since January, the Italian was very solid, reading the game very well to make up for his lack of pace. Slowly gave more room to Athiu in the second half, but remained error free all game.

Harrison Delbridge – 5.5

Was asked to play in an unfamiliar role at left-back in Scott Jamieson’s absence, looking out of place throughout. Delbridge wasn’t able to provide an attacking spark although defensively he was very solid.

Luke Brattan – 6.5

Brattan was deployed as the deep-lying playmaker in City’s midfield, but was forced to do much more defensive work then he would’ve wanted. However, he responded by drifting out wide to imprint his playmaking abilities on the match which he did by providing an outstanding assist for McGree’s strike.
