In a spirited game in the lead up to the A-League match, both sides were down to 10 men but it was Glory that found the back of the net twice for the crucial win.

After an even first half, Steven Hesketh ad Anthony Skorich got in behind the Adelaide defence in the second half to score the only two goals of the game.

The win keeps Glory in touch with the top-two, but they will need to keep winning in the run home to qualify for the grand final. Perth are now five points behind second-placed Queensland.

Despite the loss, Adelaide remain in third spot and still a chance of making the grand final play-off. With a game in hand, the Reds are four points behind Queensland.
Glory had the best chances in a relatively even first half and began to create better opportunities the longer it went.

In the 33rd minute, Mark Lee had a tremendous chance to put the home side up, but couldn't capitalise and his effort was repeated 10 minutes later by Andrija Jukic, who put a shot on goal well over the crossbar.

Adelaide's Joel Allwright got in behind Perth's defence 15 minutes into the second half and had one attempted shot blocked by a defender who got back, but was still able to get another shot off that was stopped by goalkeeper Dejan Aleksic.

It proved to be Aleksic's last action of the game as he was replaced by Alex Pearson in goals soon after.

The wait for a goal was ended in the 64th minute when Perth's Hesketh was played in to a one-on-one situation with Adelaide 'keeper Lucas Andreucci. He handled it well to guide it into the back of the net for his first National Youth League goal.

Neither team threatened over the next 20 minutes, but both went down a man. Glory was the first when Ludovic Boi was sent off by referee Steven Gregory in the 68th minute following a crude tackle.

Adelaide's Shane Tobias then showed plenty of displeasure with the linesman's call on a throw-in to receive a yellow, and earned a second when he kept on at the referee.

Glory secured the win in the final minute of extra time when Skorich was also left one-on-one with the Adelaide shot stopper, and calmly dribbled it home.
