Evaluations of SCCEROOS players for the Asia qualification match
8. Jason Drinks (6.5)
Strong performance. His excellent mobility and nous for the ball see him cut the opposition by attacking the overvoltages before they become real threats. He looms like a key man against Japan.
3. Lewis Miller (5)
At the end of a pair of scything contrasts in the 13 minutes of opening. It seemed more shaky as the game went on. A mistake (68th minute) could easily cost a goal in Australia. Replaced with the remaining 15 minutes.
22. Jackson Irvine (8)
As in the case of Indonesia, they needed two possibilities to score his goal. It is always reliable and the type of player every brama team. It should be the first name on the sheet of the SCCEROOS team every time it is fit. Bravo.
17. Ryan Teague (7)
Randwick’s 23 year old could not have hoped for a better debut. A weak opponent and a group of teammates who play with confidence were made for a dream night. It’s nice to see the midfielders try to pass the ball forward before the thought of kicking backwards enters their thought process. Worthy of multiple caps.
7. Nishan Velupillay (7.5)
Some of the worst goalkeepers that you have ever seen have given him a goal. Capper authentic comedies. He could have had another goal a few minutes later, but he rubbed him. A real discovery at this level. It has been replaced late but it seems sure to be present against Japan and Saudi Arabia.
6. Martin Boyle (5)
The high -level Marcieri ends the possibility that Boyle had in the sixth minute. On this night, it didn’t matter. One day, such a failure could prove to be very expensive. While his effort is unparalleled, his execution does not fill anyone with trusted.
11. Brandon Borrello (6)
With Adam Taggart and Kusini Yengi who both miss it due to an injury, it was the possibility of Borrello to shine. He did not exactly, but his effort has never been questioned. Australia needs more from their initial striker, anyone. Has been replaced in the last 10 minutes.
Substitutes
19. Fran Karacic (5)
Getting late with an advantage is a situation without victory for a defender. The good news for Fran is that he has not lost. He was mentally in the game from the moment he entered.
Loading
13. Aiden O’Neill (5.5)
Replaced the impressive Teague. He worked well alongside Irvine. His task was to see the game without granting the domain of the midfield. Mission accomplished.
15. Mitch Duke (4)
It was surprisingly excluded from the team for this international window, then selected after the affected injury. I didn’t have the opportunity to attack, but it still made itself busy.
5. Anthony Caceres (5)
Supplied fresh legs when introduced inside the final stages. Another gear in a coherent team performance all together. No real stress for visitors this night.
10. Daniel Arzani (n/a)
Introduced as a tactic for time over time over the arrest time of the second half. Another hat of the national team was sailed. That’s all.
