Neil Kilkenny – 7

Effective in providing relief in midfield, shaping up his side’s better moments by taking initiative in pushing the ball through to the wingbacks and attackers.

Juande – 7

Provided a strong defensive edge alongside Kilkenny’s suave passing whilst putting together some good plays of his own accord.

Jason Davidson – 7.5

Maintained his impressive form of the first three rounds, crossing well and serving as a great weapon in attack. Forces one to ponder if he deserves another opportunity in a Socceroos shirt, having been left back during the Socceroos’ Asian Cup triumph. Came off with a possible injury, which was a slight woe on an overwhelmingly positive night for Perth.

Joel Chianese – 6

Impressed in the few moments he was given on the ball, especially as he drove at the Brisbane defence with enthusiasm.

Chris Ikonomidis – 8

Brisbane gave him the time, space and opportunity to manoeuvre, which he exploited to great success, notching an assist for Keogh’s opener. Kept the Brisbane defence chasing him constantly as he weaved through them with ease. Another potential contender for a Socceroos recall.    

Andy Keogh – 7.5

 

The in form Irishman has scored three goals in three games, the first time he has done so since the 2014/15 season where he first made his mark on the league.

His on pitch combinations and link up with Oikonomidis presents itself as a partnership with deadly potential.

SUBS:

Scott Neville – 7

Within a minute of his arrival, his cross caused mayhem for Brisbane as Keogh’s deflected shot took a final touch off of O’Toole. A confident impact despite being put on as a left back. Cruelly handed a yellow card despite being on the end of a sliding challenge from Bautheac.

Brandon Wilson – 5

At fault in giving away the ball for Brisbane to find a slim avenue back in to the game.

Fabio Ferreira – N/A

Not given much time to change the game.
