Luke Brattan 6.5 – With more bodies in the City midfield he got pushed wider than he normally would be and he didn’t get as much of the ball. His passing was still wonderful.

Nick Fitzgerald 7.5 – He was one of City’s most dangerous player in the first half. But for all his danger he can’t seem to fashion a decent chance for himself.

Daniel Arzani 7.5 – Looks to beat his man nearly every time he gets the ball and succeeds more often than not. He gets an assist tonight, the future is bright for this young lad.

Marcin Budzinski 7.5 – Rare start for the Polish marquee, he made his many absences all the more mysterious by scoring twice in the first half.

Dario Vidosic 8.5 – Wasn’t sure of his positioning early on, which isn’t surprising given he was played out of position as one of the false nines. As the game wore on he managed to adjust and make a big impact on the game. He got two assists, two goals and his first goal will be one of the goals of the season.

Subs

Ross McCormick 6.5 – Scored an absolute cracker which boosts his rating but because Adelaide had the bulk of the play in the second half he didn’t get much of the ball.

Manny Muscat 6 – Did his job against a determined Adelaide but struggled to deal with Garuccio.

Stefan Mauk 5 – Didn’t get many touches but he was on the pitch during the Adelaide collapse.
