Jarell Quansah Tested against the opposition's biggest threat through Hoxha. Played through the middle initially later drifted to the flank after a teammate entered the fray. Seven

The defender Advanced forward with the ball at his feet, a familiar role in the past. Sometimes was too casual on the ball with the experiment was shelved after the break. Six

Dan Burn A nuisance at set pieces, typically, but may be another option to his teammate in defense rather than alongside him. A careless pass after the break came close to the first goal from the visitors. 6/10

The young full-back One more confident display by the youngster after his initial appearance against another side. A teammate failed to make the opportunity from a gorgeous flick behind their defense. His position looks secure so soon. 7/10

The winger Was presented with the team's clearest opportunity in the opening period, his shot excellently kept out by Thomas Strakosha. With a teammate staying deep, he had to stretch the play down the right side yet his deliveries from the touchline were inconsistent. Substituted for the final quarter-hour. 6/10

The captain The difference-maker netting seventy-seventh and seventy-eighth goals at international level. His first a trademark poacher’s finish and the second an excellent header after peeling away from his marker. Now 32, he’s only getting better with the national team are strong contenders next summer with him leading the line. 8
