Adelaide United

Paul Izzo – 5 

Although he was beaten three times he wasn’t at fault for any of them. He didn’t put a foot wrong tonight, which is impressive after suffering from some dizziness.

Tarek Elrich – 6 

Looked like he was really up for it tonight but he often couldn’t find anyone at the end of his good runs.

Jordan Elsey – 4 

The Adelaide defence were asked to deal with a front two tonight, unusual in the A League lately. It was a good test for Elsey and Regan but they didn’t pass it.

Taylor Regan – 4 

Needed to organise the defensive structure better to ensure the screening midfielders helped deal with the twin Sydney strike force.

Ben Garuccio – 5

He didn’t cope with Sydney’s narrow formation and overlapping players. It is very hard to contain Mierzejewski and Garuccio wasn’t up to it.
