Ninkovic the difference
In a game that was crying out for quality, Ninkovic duly provided. A willing runner all night, the Serbian midfielder came to the fore when his side needed it most just minutes from full time.
A player with european pedigree, Ninkovic flew under the radar when arriving from Serbia in the early stages of the off-season. However, a stunning touch and finish has earned the former Red Star Belgrade player cult status among the supporters.
As it is often with the foreign marquee players in the A-League, they can provide the difference.
