Starting XI ratings

  • Lawrence Vigouroux – 7: Had little to do for most of the match, but produced a brilliant save late on to deny Iranzo.
  • Josh Key – 6: Made a couple of decent interventions early and looked to have bulked up over the summer. A fairly solid outing.
  • Filip Lissah – 7: Looked very comfortable on the right side of the centre-back pairing. Played a couple of really nice passes. Substituted.
  • Cameron Burgess (c) – 6: Looked a little shaky at times but did his job reasonably well overall. Substituted.
  • Josh Tymon: Played some good balls forward and was typically solid defensively.
  • Marko Stamenic – 7 (Star man): Forced a good save early on and looked really sharp at the base of midfield for much of the afternoon. Substituted.
  • Melker Widell – 6: Worked hard in the middle and won a couple of useful fouls. Linked up with others. Fairly solid. Substituted.
  • Moussa Yeo – 6: Showed promise in the opening 20 minutes and produced a fine recovery run to keep Leganes at bay. There is more to come. Substituted.
  • Elijah Just – 7: Fired a good early chance just wide and covered so much ground. A really energetic presence in the middle, drifting out wide at times. Substituted.
  • Joseph Opoku – 7: Had a couple of clumsy touches initially, expected given this was only his second game, but grew into it and finished nicely for his goal.
  • Adam Idah – 7: His leg-work created the goal and his lay-off for Just yielded another early chance. Did not look like scoring himself but was a very useful outlet. Substituted.

Substitutes

  • Leo Walta (on for Widell 46) – 6: Put himself about well and saw a free-kick deflected over.
  • Eom Jisung (on for Yeo 46) – 6: Rusty initially but grew into it, with a shot over and a shot blocked.
  • Jay Fulton (on for Just 62) – 6: Did his job with minimal fuss.
  • Ronald (on for Opoku 62) – 6: Spurned a good chance late on but did okay overall.

  • Carter Heywood (on for Burgess 75) – 6: Did okay in the back four.
  • Zeidane Inoussa (on for Stamenic 75) – 5: Looked quite rusty, expected given his time out.
