A lesson in taking your chances, as taught by the Newcastle Jets in their 3-1 over Melbourne City
Kearyn Baccus — 6
A typically ‘Kearyn Baccus’ type game. Exquisite distribution and erratic unenforced errors were in abundance.
Luke Brattan — 7
Picked up an assist as he collected the ball on the edge of the area and looked to find a teammate in the box, eventually seeing his deflected pass find Maclaren. Beyond some always impressive passing, Brattan could do little to change the result.
Shayon Harrison — 6.5
The Tottenham Hotspur loanee demonstrated glimpses of his talent.Incessantly worked to win back the ball for his team, with some of his sliding challenges being particularly notable.
Florin Berenguer — 5
Never looked like he was going to impact the match well.
Jamie Maclaren — 7

Saw a first half drive from outside the box skim just wide of the post. Undeniably never gave up, always trying to shape something with the little his side gave him to work with. Rewarded with a typical poacher’s goal, sliding the ball in to the bottom left corner following a deflected pass from Brattan.
SUBS
Riley McGree — 6
Completely scuffed what would have been an instant impact off the bench, skiing a header over Italiano’s bar. Some nice moments of agility.
Lachlan Wales — 6
Brought on way too late to influence proceedings.
