Mark Milligan - 6

Decent first half, but seemed to drop off in the second half as Sydney took advantage of lapses of concentration.

Carl Valeri - 6

Created well through the midfield, and also dropped off in the second half.

Kosta Barbarouses – 7.5

No doubt Victory’s best player as he was on top of his game, especially in the early stages. Was on fire and in the zone, finding space and playing in dangerous balls. Didn’t make too much of an impact in the second half.

James Troisi - 6

Had some great ideas in the first half, could have done more for his side.

Jai Ingham - 6.5

Solid work rate and had a chance of his own early in the match. Won a penalty kick for his side.

Besart Berisha - 6.5

Was positioned well and created two chances in the first, but lacked the sting. Tucked away a calm spot-kick to give his side the lead in the 58th minute.
