Adelaide United welcomed Perth Glory to Coopers Stadium in The Remembrance Round. Both teams were coming off convincing wins last time out, and with top spot on the ladder up for grabs - resulting from Sydney’s draw last night - a crucial three points for both sides.
Isaias Sanchez - 4
He made no real impact, dropping deep to pick up the ball, kept quiet by Perth’s constant pressing game.
Vince Lia - 3
Poor game from Lia, could not take control of the midfield, kept very quiet. Contribution was a yellow card. Should have been subbed earlier.
Mirko Boland - 5
Slow start, but grew into the game, won a couple of duels. His cross into the box led to a shout for a penalty after Shane Lowry handlled the ball. Suffered hamstring tightness late on and was subbed.
Craig Goodwin - 5

Produced his famous swinging crosses but overall Perth made sure he didn’t have the impact coach Marco Kurz was hoping for.
Ben Halloran - 4
A couple of good attacking runs inside the area and nice crosses. Notable action was when he closed down goalkeeper Liam Reddy to force a corner.
Apostolos Stamatelopoulos - 4
He took an awkward fall when trying to header the ball. Unable to stamp his authority up front.
SUBS:
Michael Marrone - 3
Came on for Galloway but made no impact down the right-side, off the pace.
Ryan Kitto - 5
Not given enough time when he came on the pitch but did hold up the ball well to keep the attacking momentum going late on.
Sub-Ken Ilso - 6
Looked lively when he took to the field for Boland. Always looking dangerous, beautiful flick for Halloran, made a good impact. Should have come on earlier. Made good runs into the box.
