Michael Zullo - 6

Received a ton of the ball down the left flank but was unable to provide the killer ball to unlock the Mariners defense.

Adrian Caceres - 7

Fought hard all day to chase and win the ball back but found it tough going in an unfamiliar wide position.

Brandon O’Neill - 7

Typically clinical in his defensive duties but unable to provide enough creativity and impetus in attack.

Josh Brillante - 6

Made no major contributions and was often compelled to drop extremely deep whenever the Mariners picked up possession.

Milos Ninkovic - 9

As good as ever. Everything Sydney went through the skillful Serbian feet of Milos Ninkovic.

Reza Ghoochannejhad - 6

Still yet to really dominate a game after two attempts. Plenty more to come from the Iranian.

Adam Le Fondre - 7

Pretty uninvolved all afternoon and suffered from the lack of service provided by the Sydney midfield. Slotted his one opportunity from the penalty spot after Karacan fouled clumsily.

SUBS

Alex Brosque - 6

Won the penalty that gave the sky blues the equalizer and spurned a difficult chance with just minutes remaining.

Luke Ivanovic - 6

Got right amongst it after being introduced in the second half but was unable to provide the key to unlock the Mariners defensive unit.

Aaron Calver - N/A

Replaced O’Neill with just a few minutes remaining. The defender was deployed as a big number nine.
