Liberato Cacace – 7

Always seeking to push forward to give Nix more width, showed good energy. Good driving runs into the box, quick feet and tight control of the ball.

Alex Rufer – 5.5

Needs to control and hold onto the ball in the middle of the park, off the pace.

Mandi Sosa – 7

Decent performance, worked hard in the midfield. Subbed 70th minute

Sarpreet Singh – 6

Quiet performance by a usely lively player for Nix. Subbed 55th minute

Roy Krishna – 7

A lot of energy up front but Sydney defence closing him down when on the ball.

David Williams – 6.5

Fantastic curling shot into the top corner but just wide. Poor, poor pass to teammate, hospital ball. Needs to be more aware to move the ball quicker and forward. Mixed performance up front

SUBS 

Ryan Lowry – 6

On for Fox. You don’t always want to come on for a teammate who has suffered a serious injury but Lowry slotted in nicely, working hard and finding good positions when defending. Tested all the way.

Cillian Sheridan – 6

On for Singh. Good height, causing Sydney's defence something to think about, a decent impact after coming on.

Max Burgess – 6

On for Mandi. Fresh attacking legs, fantastic chance to equalise but shot straight at the keeper. Should have done better.
