Brandon O'Neill - 7

O'Neill intercepted Matt Millar's pass and was involved later in the move, assisting Kosta Barbarouses for his first goal for Sydney. 

Luke Brattan - 7

Brattan's wicked ball found Ninkovic at the back post to send Sydney ahead early in the match. His passing was splendid at a 96% accuracy rate. 

Alexander Baumjohann - 6.5

Baumjohann has put in two great performances playing at home at Leichhardt. Sydney FC fans will hope that carries onto Jubilee Oval for the rest of their season. 

Milos Ninkovic - 7.5

A terrific start for the Serb saw him ghost in at the back post to knock in the opener with a side-footed volley. 
 


Adam Le Fondre - 7

He has the poacher's eye for goal. Le Fondre had an opportunity to put Sydney ahead after 17 seconds but blew his chance. He made up for it sending Sydney ahead before half-time. 

Kosta Barbarouses - 7

The Kiwi had dazzling feet that would make even Gene Kelly jealous. Barbarouses netted his first goal for Sydney side stepping Glen Moss and rolling the ball into an empty net. 

SUBSTITUTES 

Anthony Caceres - 6

Caceres enjoyed a relaxed cameo off the bench for Sydney with the result already wrapped up.

Joel King - N/A

King replaced Rhyan Grant to familiarise himself once again in the left-back role. 

Trent Buhagiar - N/A

Buhagiar made his much awaited return to football after 18 months out with an ACL injury. He could have made headlines with a goal but he missed his one-on-one opportunity.
