Brandon O’Neill – 7.5

Switching the play well, good range of passing. Important runs into the final third. Worked hard picking up the ball and always looking for his team-mates to move the ball in transition.

Joshua Brillante – 5.5

Sloppy turnovers in dangerous areas, generally scrappy play and needed to get hold of the ball better and display more concentration. Two sloppy long-range shots, no control, just went for power.

Anthony Caceres – 7

Finding good space, working hard in the midfield. Decent shot at goal and subbed 77th minute.

Milos Ninkovic – 6.5

Keeping possession well enough. Little one dimensional in the first-half. More energy in the second half, creating space with delightful touches

Reza Ghoochannejhad – 5.5

Looked off the pace, poor decision making overall. Sliced his one shot on goal with a poor attempt. Disappointing in his delivery of the ball. Subbed 66th minute.

Adam Le Fondre – 7

Good energy, good ball control. Cheeky chip early in the match but it just drifted wide. Clever one-touch play to bring his teammates into the game but just couldn’t quite pull them off. Still a productive match for the Englishman.

Subs

Alex Brosque – 6

On for Reza Ghoochannejhad. Maybe the wrong substitution with his back problems, but showed decent energy.

Luke Ivanovic – 5

On for Anthony Caceres. Had a few highlights but suffered from poor decision making. Not the impact Sydney were looking for.
