2. GK - Robin Roefs
Little he could do about Volnei’s stunning strike, the first shot Torreense had in the game. Little to do otherwise. 5 | Getty Images
3. RB - Trai Hume
Put in a couple of decent crosses over the course of the half and was never tested defensively but definitely has looked a little fatigued since his return from international duty. 5 | Getty Images
4. CB - Luke O'Nien
Stepped out well with the ball at times and won the majority of his duels. A pretty steady showing in the main on his return to the side. 6 | Chris Fryatt, Echo
