Central Coast Mariners were coming off a heart-breaking loss last week against Perth Glory. They carry with them the heavy burden of being the only side without a win in the campaign so far.
Joshua Brillante – 6
Quiet day but made no real inroads to lay down a marker. One wild shot where he could of passed the ball to Grant.
Alex Brosque – 6
Nice early touch of the ball but kept quiet most of the game. One shot in the second half out of anger. Sub on 88 minutes.
Milos Ninkovic – 6
Jacob Melling clattered him in the opening minutes of the game. Quiet all day due to the knock on his knee...did try to get involved.
Adam Le Fondre- 6
Apart from his emphatic penalty take, smashing through Kennedys fingers and into the roof of the net, he wasn’t like his normal self. He looked off the pace, had a couple of attempts at goal but couldn’t connect, which has made him a fierce striker in the A-League. Six goals from six games including tonight’s penalty.
Paulo Retre – 6
Quiet all day, no real impact of note. Sub after being clattered by two CCM players.
SUBS
Cameron Devlin- N/A
Not on long enough to rate.
Luke Ivanovic – 6
18 year-old came on with 15 mins left in the game to impress, over eagerness produced a sloppy tackle.
