Mudgee was the setting for the pulsating fourth round clash between the Western Sydney Wanderers and Brisbane Roar.
Alex Lopez — 7.5
Lopez demonstrated an impressive creativity in the attacking third, maintaining his positive work going forward having previously made 41 total passes in the front third in the opening three rounds of the season (second only to Luke Brattan’s 43). Impressively shifted away from O’Doherty and displayed sumptuous technique to fire from range past Janjetovic.
Tobias Mikkelsen — 4
Dispossessed frequently due to the urgency of the Wanderers in their pressing. Hardly sighted and was kept quiet.
Eric Bautheac — 6.5
Tested Janjetovic with a good drive that would have been an instant equaliser had it slipped through. Brisbane’s chief creative force and responsible for the Roar’s second half equaliser, as he was brought down in the box by Baumjohann.
Adam Taggart — 6
Unsuccessful on the goal front in the first half, albeit not for a lack of trying. The second half was again mixed for the peripheral Socceroo, slamming home a penalty, but seeing some of his touches and shots go awry.
SUBS
Henrique — 7
Brought on at a fantastic time as Brisbane began to truly balance out the game. Linked up positively with Taggart.
Daniel Bowles — 6
Defensively solid, having been brought on to help retain the point for Brisbane.
Dane Ingham — N/A
Brought on to wind down the minutes.
