Andrew Durante 5.5
One last ditch tackle saved a certain goal, while his mistakes contributed to two of the first three goals. Strong effort in first 30 minutes.
Leo Bertos 4.5
Struggled to contain opposite number and badly caught out for third Mexican goal. Worked hard.
Jeremy Brockie 5
Still yet to replicate club performances at international level. High workrate but some poor touches squandered possession on the rare occasions when the All Whites had the ball.
Michael McGlinchey 4
Poor. Strangely subdued performance from the usually dynamic Central Coast Mariner. Not suited to the tactics employed by the visitors but still struggled to get into the game or onto the ball and had little influence on the match.
Jeremy Christie 4
Puzzling selection and added little. Outpaced or out-thought by opponents and lack of composure when on the ball.
Kosta Barbarouses 7
Strong performer. Worked tirelessly up and down the flank. Looked likely to spark something and coped better with the altitude than most of his team-mates. Slide rule pass for Wood was close call in first half, though perhaps should have gone himself.
Chris Wood 6
Difficult job leading the line, with extremely limited supply. Showed a willingness to work hard and created one good chance early in the second spell
Chris James 7
Added spark when he came on and looked willing to play his natural game. Entered at a time when the game had opened up but looked less overawed than many of his team-mates. Passed well and his goal was a good reward for effort.
Rory Fallon 5.5
Won the header which led to James' goal but struggled to get into the game during his 25 minutes on the field.
Marco Rojas 6
Noticeably affected by the altitude as he entered the game in the 53rd minute. Short of match play but still looked dangerous on the ball.
