Mat Ryan (GK) - 6
This was a steady performance from the skipper. He didn’t have much to do,he organised the defence,and was beaten once but the ball came back off the post:6.
Nathaniel Atkinson - 6
He showed improvement after a difficult game against the UAE. He was booked early,which restricted him,but he kept calm and played his part:6.
Kye Rowles - 8
The youthful central defender played really well,belying his lack of big-time experience. Calm and measured,he made his headers and interceptions and rarely looked out of place:8.
Bailey Wright - 7
Recalled from the international wilderness,Wright was a calm and physical presence at the back alongside the inexperienced Rowles and helped hold things together at the back:7.
Aziz Behich - 8
The left wing-back has had some up and down games recently,but was terrific here. Strong defensively,he made timely interceptions and almost scoring a decisive goal:8.
Ajdin Hrustic - 6.5
He was a standout against the UAE but a bit quieter in this game,where he was unable to provide the incision necessary to unlock the Peruvian rearguard. He scored his penalty calmly:6.5.
Aaron Mooy - 6.5
He remarkably lasted 120 minutes - although out in his feet in the end - and was a metronomic presence and retained the ball,although neither he nor Hrustic were able to find many clear-cut routes to bisect the Peruvian defence. He scored his penalty to keep Australia in game after the Boyle miss:6.5.
Martin Boyle - 7
Lively early when his direct running and pace caused problems for the Peruvian backline,he was a threat whenever he got on the ball. He faded in the latter stages and missed a penalty in shootout,but was still a strong performer:7.
Mat Leckie - 6
He worked hard and embodied the virtues Graham Arnold was demanding - pace,power and physical presence,but few chances came his way:6.
Jackson Irvine - 6.5
The hard-running midfielder got into good positions and always presented as an option,but unfortunately sent his two best chances - headers - wide:6.5.
Mitch Duke - 6
A strong presence in the opening half,Duke brought the pugnacity and fighting spirit Arnold had demanded. He had Australia’s first two efforts on goal but made way in the second period:6.
SUBSTITUTES
Andrew Redmayne - 8.5
The hero of the hour with his decisive penalty shootout save,he played only three minutes of actual game time,so his mark reflects the match winning moment:8.5.
Awer Mabil - 6.5
He showed plenty of spark when he replaced Duke in the second half and his pace on the flank caused Peru problems. He took his penalty well:6.5.
Jamie Maclaren - 6.5
He came on for extra time and had few chances but worked hard and slotted his penalty home well:6.5.
Fran Karacic - 6.5
He replaced Atkinson at the start of extra time. He made some important interventions early,looked calm and unflustered,and did well:6.5.
Craig Goodwin - 6.5
Goodwin came on late in extra time to take a penalty in the shootout - which he thumped home:6.5.
