NEWCASTLE JETS

Jack Duncan - 6

Hesitant for City's opener, then suffered what appeared to be a torn quad on the 26th minute. 

Johnny Koutroumbis - 7

Phenomenal effort along the comeback trail to be playing in this game, and looked like he was brimming for the occassion. Few lapses defensively and struck a nosebleeder on the 45th for good measure. 

Daniel Georgievski - 7

His early delivery was substandard, but his passing was delightful when he pushed inside and he became increasingly involved - with mixed results - in the right-flank hotbed throughout the second period. 

Nigel Boogaard - 8.5

Enormous effort from captain corageous. Pushed forward to little avail but was concise defensively, led a shut-out defence that rarely looked troubled by anyone but Daniel Arzani. 

Nikolai Topor-Stanley - 8    

Typically aggressive, slightly inflexible for the first goal, but could realistically do little else about City's opener. 

Steven Ugarkovic - 6.5

He was battling for any meaningful control in midfield, but was generally outclassed in the first half and looked frustrated. Slowly worked his way into the match.
