Player ratings Mark Schwarzer: Was never seriously threatened, thanks largely to his central-defensive pairing, but showed good judgement in periodically coming off his line. Matt McKay: Lacked the attacking threat of his fellow full-back Wilkshire. Nevertheless was solid and rarely beaten, another tick for his mid-career position conversion. Sasa Ognenovski: Mighty in the first half, often showing great anticipation to leave his direct opponent to cut out potential threats. His composure more than offset his lack of pace. Lucas Neill (c): A lack of continuity in club football continues to have little effect on the Socceroos captain. Was excellent in defence, plus deservedly broke his international scoring duck. Luke Wilkshire: Australia's best attacking threat early before he was shaded by Kruse, which was hardly a slight on him. Complemented it with some typically assured defence. Mark Bresciano (off 86'): Opened the scoring at the quarter-hour mark after a perfectly timed run. Hardly wasted a pass in midfield, was crucial in Australia's crushing victory. Mark Milligan: Justified his selection ahead of Mile Jedinak with another energtic display, both with the ball and without. His strength in midfield complement Bresciano's guile. Tommy Oar (off 60'): Was relegated to Australia's secondary attacking threat on the flanks, behind Kruse, but chased hard and his pace was unnerving for his opponents. Brett Holman (off 79'): Vied with Kruse as Australia's best player. Was desperate with the ball and without it, and was deservedly given a rest once the result was assured. Robbie Kruse: Melbourne Victory coach Ange Postecoglou declared the attacker had some of age as in international player - and rightly so. Exceptional, never able to be shackled. Tim Cahill: Was not Australia's most prominent attacking threat but could have benefited from an early penalty. Proved his aerial prowess with yet another headed goal. Archie Thomson (on 60'): Was involved in the chain of passes that led to Cahill's goal immediately after entering, and almost scored but for a good low late stop from Shafia. Tom Rogic (on 79'): Impressed sufficiently in Australia to earn a move to Scottish giant Celtic. In his limited time on the pitch won a crucial header that led to the last goal. Dario Vidosic (on 86'): The Socceroos were well in control by the time he entered. had little time to make an impression but, in his defence, did little wrong.
