Thomas Kristensen – 5.5

Back for his first game since April, the Dane is still regaining his fitness, which will come with time. Back for the Roar in a crucial time, and showed the quality they’ve been missing.

Nicholas D’Agostino – 7

Had a few promising chances, but was far too powerful and lacked composure in the crucial moments.

Matt McKay - 5

The Roar skipper with the everlasting engine kept his midfield in check, but failed to create something with any spark and stayed quiet.

Petros Skapetis - 6

After a positive start which saw the winger come close to netting a goal, Skapetis was pulled as the Roar looked for more goals.

Massimo Maccarone - 8

The league is lucky to have a striker like Maccarone. To many, tonight’s performance could’ve been scrutinised, however it is the striker’s little touches and top-class distribution that is easily overlooked.

Fahid Ben Khalfallah – 6.5

Played with aggression and a desire to claim all three points, which was good to see. Fast paced play, yet couldn’t link up with his teammates in crucial moments.

SUBSTITUTES

Mitch Oxborrow – N/A

Didn’t catch the eye with any play with limited time, therefore not warranting a rating.

Corey Gamiero – 7

Brought some bite to the attack for Brisbane, but his attacking counterparts failed to convert.

Connor O’Toole – N/A

Didn’t catch the eye with any play with limited time, therefore not warranting a rating.
