Xavi Torres - 6

Diego Castro may claim that his Spanish counterpart is the better player, but he did little to show it. Still has some convincing to do to qualify the impressive pedigree.

Jake Brimmer - 6

Assuming no injuries, it was surprising that he only lasted 45 minutes. Not good for a quality youth product’s confidence – he’s a Liverpool graduate after all – but due to Kenny Lowe’s tactics, when he and Mills pushed forward, Perth suffered defensively.

Diego Castro - 7

Everywhere for Perth, still their best player by a country mile, but dropped slightly in the second. Perth need his influence so badly, that without his spark, they look lost.

Adam Taggart – 6.5

Rarely involved in the first half but was at the centre of Perth’s resurgence in the second. If judging him as a potential Socceroo, then he didn’t do quite enough.

But as an A-League centre forward, he was solid.

Andy Keogh – 6.5

Perth’s skipper didn’t quite lead by example until the 81st minute, when he bundled one home from a header-turned-own goal.

He had an amazing chance on the 35th minute, directly on goal, but tamely squared an effort directly at Janjetovic. Scored late on, although technically it was an own goal, and tried to spark a Glorious renaissance but it was too late.

Andreu - 6

Brought on late, but consistent enough that he should be able to force himself into the Perth lineup at some stage this season.

Joe Knowles - 6

Reasonably involved, but not on for long enough to give a fair rating.
