Western Sydney Wanderers

 

Abigale Smith – 8

Was strong against Brisbane’s early aggressive attack, communicated well throughout the game to organise her side and distributed the ball well - got caught out a couple of times in the second half. 

 

Sam Staab – 7

Completed some perfectly timed challenges in defence and distributed the ball well through the midfield, a few balls beat her behind the defensive line.

 

Courtney Nevin – 7

Played some neat passes and moved the ball forward quickly, read her opposition players well although occasionally left them with too much time and space.
