Brett Holman - 6.5

Still very speedy for a veteran and was great on and off the ball. He and Khalfallah linked-up well.

Mitchell Oxborrow - 5

Used his body well at times, and blocked a dangerous shot from Brama. A shocking turnover almost saw De Silva win the game, but lucky for the alertness of Young.

Matt McKay - 6

The Captain produced his usual tigerish tackling, and was crucial in the last ten minutes for Brisbane.      

Eric Bautheac - 9

Roar’s most pivotal player on the day, along with Young. His challenges were on par with the best and caused serious panic with his deliveries and a lovely first touch, as well as beautiful releases of the ball.
The Man of the Match was dangerous, producing a scary ball in for Maccarone who was inches offside.

Massimo Maccarone - 6

The fiery Italian showed class and experience on the ball in the first half, he also had a few chances, with a header and a lobbed effort but couldn’t convert. The offside call had John Aloisi also firing, as Maccarone would have been through on goal.

The striker was also lucky not to give away a penalty following a scuffle with Asdrubal.

Fahid Ben Khalfallah - 6

Wasn’t overly accurate with his crosses as he usually is, could have provided more up front but did have some moments that were good.

SUBS

Corey Gameiro – N/A

Returned after a long haul on the sidelines since late 2015 and got a warm welcoming. Didn’t do enough in his first game back for a fair rating.

Peter Skapetis – N/A

Also didn’t do enough for a fair rating, the young forward still lacks the experience but has potential.

Jacob Pepper – N/A

Came on late and there wasn’t enough time to give a fair rating.
