2. Tino Livramento - 5
Caught out of position on one occasion as Yokohama countered down his side and hit the crossbar. Made an important header at the back post to clear the danger but couldn't do the same for Yokohama's opener. | Getty Images
3. Fabian Schar - 7
Has been missed in the opening weeks of pre-season. Barely flustered on his return to the side so far and stopped a dangerous ball into the box that would have been a near-certain goal. | Getty Images
4. Lloyd Kelly - 6
Made a good block to deny a Yokohama chance. Got caught out slightly with one ball over the top but generally looked comfortable on the ball on his first appearance for the club. Booked for a risky last-man challenge but redeemed himself with an excellent interception soon after. | Getty Images
