More than 23,600 packed into Auckland’s Eden Park to watch Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne Victory play out their third draw of the season.
Raul Baena – 7
Putting himself about working hard in the middle of the park.
Anthony Lesiotis – 7
Solid tackling, worked hard. Subbed in the 55th minute
James Troisi – 7.5
Always dangerous in the final third, looking the killer ball. Pressed forward with pace and worked well with Barbarouses.
Elvis Kamsoba – 7.5
Good defensive work. First time balls spot on. Explosive pace terrorised the Nix defence. Always looking to create space. Had a terrific performance and was Man of the Match.
Kosta Barbarouses – 7.5
Lively down the flanks with quick feet and some nice twist and turns. Crossed the ball perfectly into the six-yard area.
Kenny Athiu – 7
Should have done better with his first clear attempt on goal. Powerful shot early in the second-half. Made himself big presence when attacking.
SUBS
Keisuke Honda – 6.5

Dispatched the penalty with ease, sending the keeper the wrong way. Quality touch when controlling the ball, pulling it dead on his feet. The way he can shift his weight when running at defenders with the ball at his feet – simply sublime.
James Donachie – 6
Allowed Sarpreet Singh to cross the ball, didn’t close him down quickly enough. Hand ball for his troubles deep in the final third.
