Melbourne City had a lot of position, good pressing game, keeping Glory pinned but just couldn’t capitalise on the adventuring work down the left-hand side.
Neil Kilkenny – 7
Tough tackling in the first half, going about his business. Few sweeping passes in the second half
Brandon Wilson – 7
Good crunching tackle in midfield. Ambitious shot from 20 yards out, flying way over the cross bar. Sub 62 min.
Ivan Franjic – 7
Decent shot on goal but didn’t trouble the keeper
Diego Castro – 7
Good touches early on, reading the play well, great pace, superb ball control. Couple of reckless tackles, appeared to get tired towards the end of the game. Sub 80 minute.
Andy Keogh – 7
Dropping back to get into the game, making some decent runs.
Chris Ikonomidis – 7
Relatively quiet, the City defence putting in some heavy challenges. Pops up and scores Perth's opening and the only goal from close range. Rolled the defender with ease to have a soft shot on goal in the second half. Some good runs in the final third.
SUBS
Dino Djulbic – 6
Slotting into the defence role with ease. Strong defending.
Jake Brimmer – 6
On for Wilson but no real presence.
Joel Chianese – N/A
Not on long enough to rate.
