Melbourne City FC
Dean Bouzanis (7/10): Bouzanis hardly had anything to do during the game. He did make two good saves and had a couple of good outings.
Nathaniel Atkinson (7.5/10): Atkinson was solid defensively, and he often ventured forward and instigated attacking moves.
Bart Schenkeveld (7/10): Schenkeveld was solid defensively and was seldom beaten by the Kerala attackers. He broke down a host of attacks and was always a target man during set pieces.
Osama Malik (8/10): The centre-back cleared a host of Kerala Blasters attacks. He was a wall, and he did his job brilliantly.
Scott Jamieson (7/10): Prasanth beat Jamieson for pace quite often, but Jamieson almost always made up for it and covered his tracks and didn't let Prasanth get the better of him.
Luke Brattan (8.5/10): Brattan controlled the game for the time he was on the pitch. He provided a delicious cross for Vidosic during the first goal and played a lot of key passes during the game.
Riley McGree (9/10): The livewire of the game, McGree was a class above his counterparts. The Kerala Blasters defenders had a torrid experience keeping him in check. Mcgree scored a brace in the game, with a goal in both halves.
Michael O'Halloran (8.5/10): O'Halloran ran riot through the Kerala defence with his tricky runs and had an assist to his name too. He had a couple of shots at goal also.
Anthony Caceres (9/10): The Australian midfielder who is on a loan stint at Melbourne City from Manchester City had a good game, as his passes split the Kerala defence often. He had a brilliant assist to his name too.
Dario Vidosic (8/10): Vidosic opened the scoring for the night as he headed home from a Brattan lofted through ball. Vidosic had a couple of more chances also but failed to convert them.
Lachlan Wales (8.5/10): Wales worked very hard during his time on the pitch and eventually rewarded with a goal in the second half. He played some excellent passes too.
Substitutes
Ramy Najjarine (9/10): Najjarine was probably the best player for Melbourne City today, he had an immediate impact on the game. He played some nice passes and scored a good goal too.
Bruno Fornaroli (8/10): Fornaroli scored the sixth goal of the game. He did an excellent job to break the offside trap and slot the ball home.
Harrison Delbridge (7/10): Delbridge had an excellent second half as he controlled long parts of the game and also split open the Kerala defence on numerous occasions.
Conor Metcalfe (8/10): Hit the post with a curling effort, he showed his quality on the ball during his limited time on the pitch. He had more than a few pops at goal from a distance.
Christian Cavallo (7/10): He had a good game, and found his man with every pass he made. He helped Melbourne control the game in the second half.
Dylan Pierias (8/10): The young right-back had a good game, and showed why he is rated highly by the Melbourne City team. He was calm and composed while defending and seldom beaten.
