Brett Holman – 5

Holman started the game brightly but went missing halfway into the first half as Bautheac began to drift centrally more often.

Eric Bautheac – 7

The Frenchman and Ben Khalfallah were Brisbane’s best. Bautheac is a hard worker with a good touch and an ability to hold the ball. He outsmarts his opponents in duels and sees and reads the play well. Bautheac faded in the second half but played the pass which brought upon the equalising penalty.

Fahid Ben Khalfallah – 8

Brisbane’s best player on the day, getting himself into all sorts of dangerous positions. Ben Khalfallah attacks with purpose and always with a clear goal in mind; a trait local talent are slow to learn. Constantly gave the Wellington defence a hard time and was the leader of Brisbane’s second-half comeback. Went agonisingly close to winning the game in stoppage time.

Massimo Maccarone – 6

Maccarone was totally unsighted until he scored Brisbane’s first goal on the 45th minute, getting himself in the poacher’s position to tap it home, and then converted a penalty to level the game.

Dane Ingham – 7

Brought on in the 39th minute. The speedy, young full-back beat Krishna in a few one-on-one battles and matched him for speed. He looks very comfortable for an 18-year-old.

Peter Skapetis – N/A

Replaced Brett Holman in the 84th minute but remained anonymous.

Joe Caletti – N/A

Came on in the 88th minute for Mitchell Oxborrow. Had little impact and doesn’t warrant a rating.
