Ben Garuccio – 6

One of his better recent games, unfortunately tarnished by a red card for a reckless tackle on Bonevacia. After some wayward crossing in his past few games, they were all on point in this match. Lovely balls for Mileusnic twice in the first half could’ve put Adelaide up by two goals. Was threatening from high positions.

Isaias (c) – 6.5

The midfield sweeper; Isaias steered the play from the middle and sets Adelaide up with basic but effective work. His modus operandi is to collect the ball, find some space for himself, settle things down and usually hit Daniel Adlung or Karim Matmour with a short ball to take over.

Daniel Adlung – 6.5

A great director of traffic in midfield, everything Adelaide did in the first half went through the German. His influence diminished in the second half.

Karim Matmour – 6.5

Scurrying around the edge of the box, he’s settling into his role within the team but as Andy Harper said on TV commentary, “he still has a lot more to give”. He set up the Ryan Kitto opening goal with a nice cross to the box.

Ryan Kitto – 8

It’s always a bonus to have a young, goal scoring winger – especially when your strikers are struggling. Kitto finally opened Adelaide’s account in first half stoppage time, slipping it below the ‘keeper on an angle. He was on hand to slide in the second goal after a Wanderer’s defensive mishap and handled it coolly. He could’ve had a hat-trick has his earlier effort not bounced off the post.

Nikola Mileusnic – 7.5

The winger has aa crafty ability to get himself into good positions but missed two great opportunities in the first half, both from Garuccio’s crosses: one mistimed side-foot and the next from a header. His speed was best on show when he was the first to pounce on Hamill’s defensive error and assisted Kitto’s second goal.

Baba Diawara – 5

Diawara missed the penalty given to Adelaide by the VAR when he hit the post, then got extremely lucky the officials didn’t disallow Adelaide’s eventual opener – he clearly interfered with play from an offside position. Saw 71 minutes.

Mark Ochieng – 5.5

Came on for Ryan Strain after 59 minutes and took over at right-back.

George Blackwood – 6

One of his first involvements was to unsuccessfully chip Vedran Janjetovic. The young striker showed an ability to break past defenders heading into the penalty area.

Nathan Konstandopoulos – N/A

Replaced Karim Matmour after 75 minutes; had little impact.
