Goran Paracki – 7.5

The Croatian was solid in midfield and played some inspired passes, favouring the long diagonal to Roy Krishna several times with nearly every attempt ending successfully. Paracki broke up passes in midfield, imposed himself physically when needed, and helped stretch Brisbane horizontally.

Dario Vidosic – 7

Vidosic always looked for a meaningful pass in the first half and is more than happy to play an expansive, adventurous ball from side-to-side. Faded out of the game after half-time and was taken off in the 69th minute.

Michael McGlinchey – 8

Delivered a beautiful ball for Kaluderovic’s opener and almost scored Wellington’s fourth goal but for the VAR ruling it offside. McGlinchey played wonderful passes to find his forwards and was always lurking in good positions.

Roy Krishna – 8.5

Scored a worldie in the 19th minute when he hammered it into the top corner and gave the Roar hell as he bombed down the right flank. The Fijian was arguably the best player on the field and even in the second half when Brisbane were on top, he looked the most likely going the other way.

Andrija Kaluderovic – 7.5

Had a goal in the first 60 seconds of the game with a perfectly directed header and tapped in Wellington’s third goal to put them 3-0 up. The striker worked hard around the box and is content to pick the ball up in wide areas as well.

Dylan Fox – 5

Came on in the 25th minute for Galloway. His big moment came a few minutes after his introduction when he shouldered Bautheac off the ball halfway through a marauding run.

Gui Finkler – 5

Didn’t do a whole lot, but did have a wild slash at goal to try and win the game at the very end.

Adam Parkhouse – N/A

Came on in the 88th minute for Michael McGlinchey, but didn’t do enough to earn a rating.
