Bruce Kamau – 6 - Was lively early on and given plenty of ball down the left. Won the free kick that led to McCormack’s lovely free kick. Substituted again early in the second half.

Luke Brattan – 8.5 - His cameo last week was enough to earn him a start and he had some good touches to compliment his range of passing prowess. Controlled the tempo almost single handedly in the second half until Glory’s third goal killed off any chance for a result. Very good in a beaten and disorganized side.

Stefan Mauk – 6 - Struggled to have an impact in the game aside from helping Luke Brattan press Glory in the second half to fairly good effect. Given an early rest after 78mins.

Scott Jamieson – 7.5 - Played the role of a true wing back and got forward even when City were reduced to 10. Got up and down throughout the night and effort was definitely there.

Nick Fitzgerald – 6.5 - Trialed as a right-sided wing back and the tactic didn’t do Warren Joyce’s side any favours despite his efforts. Looked much more comfortable in the second half when changes were made to allow him to move forward without fear.

Marcin Budzinski– 4 - Not certain he, his team-mates, or his coach really know what to do with him. Looks disinterested and is nowhere near the player the Melburnians were expecting when he was signed as a marquee. 

Ross McCormack – 6.5 - Can score a free-kick! In fact his equalizer was his third for the season and an impressive strike, clearing the wall by centimetres. Not too many chances tonight on his return and withdrawn in favour of Tim Cahill after 70mins.

Substitutes

Manny Muscat – 6 - Given 40 minutes but can be forgiven for not really putting in a performance of note, after he was switched from right back, to centre half, to what looked like a number 10 role at times. Confused? So were we.

Tim Cahill – 6 - The talisman tried to influence the game and was busy but only really had one sight on goal late in injury time.

Neil Kilkenny – 6 - 78th minute sub and again failed to make an impact from the bench. Surely would be better suited to starting.
