  • 5' Perth Glory FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Haine Eames suffering a number of foals already.
  • 14' Goal! Sebastian Despotovski scores his 2 goal in 209 matches.
  • 17' Goal! Adam Taggart scores his 56 goal in 205 matches.
  • 22' James Donachie needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 27' Perth Glory FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 57' Another change for Perth Glory FC made on 57 minute. Sebastian Despotovski leaves to be changed by Anthony Didulica.
