Newcastle Jets held on for a 1-0 win over Wellington Phoenix in Auckland on Saturday.
Made a few good plays, and looked energetic in the second half to try and get his side back into the game.
Matija Ljuijc - 7
Quick feet to get around Newcastle defence, with his effort just wide. Danced along the touch-line with the ball to send a threatening pass in. His second half was much better than the first.
Tom Doyle - 7
Low, diagonal ball to get past a high Jets defence. Looked to get in behind but it was tough with the Jets' high defensive line. Good scrambling defending to clear out the danger.

Sarpeet Singh - 7.5
Nice vision spotting gaps, and sent a great ball across the face of goal for Burns who was only inches away as he came sliding in. Good ball movement to place balls inside the area. Had a few chances of his own.
Roy Krishna - 7
Looked to open up play, great ball in for Burns and made dangerous, surging runs. Really put the effort in for his side.
Pin-point cross for a golden chance for Burns. One-on-one opportunity missed which ulitmately summed up Wellington's match.
Nathan Burns - 6
Looked quite lively with a few chances in the first half and crosses in. His best half of the season but just missing a goal.
Couldn’t capitalise from close-range, and didn't do a whole lot in the second.
