Lindsay Agnew - 8

The Canadian was a rock at left-back and kept Jenkins uncharacteristically quiet for the duration of the match. Made a heroic block as she put her body on the line in the dying seconds to help secure the win.

Teresa Polias - 7.5

Sydney's unsung hero had a busy game but was quiet as the game was largely played over her head as both sides looked to play long.

Natalie Tobin - 7.5

Like Polias, was required to sit back and get through a mountain of work in the second half as Victory threw everything at the Sky Blues, but Tobin stood firm and made won some important duels.

Taylor Ray - 8

Making her fourth successive start after returning from her second ACL injury, Ray showed why she is held in such high regard by Ante Juric and his staff with an impressive performance, helping dictate the tempo and stifle the Victory until being substituted in the 77th minute.

Sofia Huerta - 7

The American winger was busy in the opening half, having a couple of half-chances, but was virtually a spectator in the second period as Sydney dug in and defended their way to the decider.

Veronica Latsko  - 7.5

Her main contributions to the game were her neatly taken goal and being on the receiving end of a sickening ball to the face, but she won't mind as she continued to lead the line and it was her well-timed run and finish that put her side through to the big dance.

Remy Siemsen - 7

Spurned a chance to put the result to bed in the 78th minute, was otherwise industrious without having any reward. Worryingly for the Sky Blues, this season's equal Golden Boot winner has only scored one goal in her last eight appearances.
