Fahid Ben Khalfallah 4.5 – Not on the same wavelength as most of his team tonight and his quality really decayed throughout the game. His first few minutes were good, but nothing he tried was working by match-end.

Matt McKay 5 – His embarrassing slip early in the second half will make it onto the A League blooper reel. Too many sideways and backwards passes when there were better options. Had a couple of good chances to score but that has never been one of his strengths.

Daniel Leck 6 – Made a few chances for himself in the first half but couldn’t finish them, and his runs were dangerous but his team mates didn’t find him.

Otherwise he was one of Brisbane’s best players in the first half, but didn’t get many touches in the second before Aloisi took him off.

Massimo Maccarone 3 – Looked his age tonight. Or older. His body language was awful too and something like that can have a very bad effect on your teammates.

He looked uninterested and defeated. That said, should someone his age be expected to play this many ninety minute games in a short space of time? Should have been subbed off for a rest.

Eric Bautheac 6 – Gave his all tonight but on numerous occasions that effort was wasted. He was Brisbane’s most creative player after FBK began his decline. He was also subbed off by Aloisi. 

Subs

Ivan Franjic 6 – He was denied a goal by an amazing save from Glen Moss. He made his name as a right back but played much higher tonight and provided some wonderful switches of play.

Shannon Brady 5 – Showed little of what he could do down the left when Brisbane really needed his fresh legs.
