Melbourne derby player ratings: Niedermeier's nightmare

Rating: 6/10

Went the right way for the penalty but couldn't get a hand to it. Rarely tested and was saved twice by the woodwork when beaten. 

Rating: 7/10

Very solid down the left flank. 

Rating: 7/10

Stepped up after the sending off and seemed to time most of his challenges very well. 

Rating: 0/10

Picked up two early yellow cards and gave away a silly penalty with his last involvement. A night to forget for the German. 

Rating: 7/10

Drafted in at right-back and did what was asked of him without too much fuss. 

Rating: 6/10

A solid shift from the Spaniard, who was forced to cover extra ground in Niedermeier's absence. 

Rating: 6/10

Kept things ticking in midfield and another that did well to plug the hole left by having just 10 men. 

Rating: 7/10

Not at his sharpest but showed great fight with his team under the pump and picked up the assist for Barbarouses' goal. 

Rating: 5/10

Sacrificed at half-time having failed to make much of an impact. 

Rating: 8/10

Took his goal very well on a tight angle and was always asking questions of City's defence. 

Rating: N/A

Pulled off after Neidermeier's sending off. Shame he didn't get more minutes. 

Ola Toivonen: 6/10

James Donachie: 7/10 

Storm Roux: 6/10

Rating: 5/10

Should have done better with the goal which was Victory's first shot of the game. 

Rating: 6/10

A typical performance from the City skipper. Full of running but end product left a bit to be desired. 

Rating: 6/10

A solid performance but perhaps could have done more to usher out Barbarouses for the goal. 

Rating: 7/10

A polished performance that you've come to expect from the Dutch defender. 

Rating: 6/10

Not as sharp going forward as he has been previously this season, but strong enough at the back. 

Rating: 5/10

A few sloppy touches and wayward passes in midfield as he failed to capitalise on his side's numerical advantage. 

Rating: 7/10

Made his presence felt and was unlucky not to double City's lead late in the first-half with an effort that struck the post. 

Rating: 7/10

Another that hit the woodwork and gave City's attack a bit of zip moving forward. 

Rating: 5/10

Wasn't incisive enough against 10-men and was withdrawn early in the second-half. 

Rating: 6/10

Some decent hold-up play but failed to pull the trigger on occasion and summed up City's hesitance in the final third. 

Rating: 7/10

Took and won his penalty well but wasn't at his sharpest in front of goal. 

Lachlan Wales: 6/10

Riley McGree: 6/10

Dario Vidosic: 6/10
