Under the watchful eye of new Socceroos boss Bert Van Marwijk, which A-League Aussies impressed the Dutchman?

Sydney FC 

Andrew Redmayne - 6

Redmayne’s ninth clean sheet of the season as he made himself big to deny McGlinchey a chance to pull one back in the second half. 

Luke Wilkshire - 6

Was caught out for pace by McGlinchey on a number of occasions but managed to steady his ship as the game wore on. Going forward he wasn’t as effective, nor needed as a result of Sydney’s rapid attacks this evening. 

Alex Wilkinson - 7.5

Another confident performance from the Socceroo. A satisfying display with his passing as well as handling the pressure and space around the box. 

Jordy Buijs - 7

Caught unawares at the beginning of the match as McGlinchey found space in behind, luckily for the Dutchman nothing came of the chance. Wellington’s lack of midfield pressure allowed him more time to take the ball forward as he was seen more often around the oppositions box than his own.

Michael Zullo - 7

A decent evening by his standards racking up his fifth assist for the season as he drilled an accurate ball along the goal for Brosque to open the scoring. Defensively exceptional disallowing Adam Parkhouse any opportunities down the right.

Paulo Retre - 6.5

With the absence of Brandon O’Neill, Retre took the chance to start in his comfortable defensive midfield role. In his first start since November the 24-year old delighted with a rather impressive passing range although his match sharpness needs some work after losing possession a number of times. 

Joshua Brillante - 7.5

After a few wobbly weeks Brillante was back at his usual best tonight. Flawless marshalling in midfield and alongside the central defenders with a competent tackle success rate as well as confident passing.
