Juande – 7

With an inexperienced player alongside him, Popovic would have expected the Spaniard to take charge in central midfield, but failed to dictate the tempo in the first half as the absent Kilkenny has so often done.

Much improved in the second half (with better movement in front of him, it must be said) and scored the winner with an ice-cool spot kick into the top corner.

Jake Brimmer - 7

The 20 year-old has plenty of ability but it clearly still learning his craft. Used the ball well in the second half when Glory were chasing the game.

Fabio Ferreira - 7

Perth’s busiest attacker in the first half, testing Suman from distance and crossing onto the head of Keogh, who should have done better. Not quite on the same wavelength as Castro in the second half.

Joel Chianese – 4

Almost anonymous, and was duly substituted at halftime. A very poor game by his recent standards.

Andy Keogh – 7

Missed the best chance of the first half, heading wide from six yards from a terrific Ferreira cross. Quiet for much of the game but was in the right place to equalise, and won the decisive spot kick, making the most of some grappling from Hamill.

Subs:

Diego Castro – 9

For the second game in a row, the former Johnny Warren medallist completely changed the game when he came on.

Suddenly, the Glory had an active presence between the lines to link midfield and attack. Pulled one back with a controversial equaliser – although the onside Castro got there first, Davidson attempted to play the ball after coming from an offside position, but the goal stood following a VAR review.

Put in a glorious cross for the second, and provided the key pass for the third, picking out Franjic with a delightful through ball.

Jason Davidson - 7

Provided the width Perth had been lacking in the first half. Largely concerned with attacking and perhaps neglected his duties at the other end. Lucky not to be flagged offside when Castro scored – Davidson was clearly offside and made an attempt to play the ball, even if he did not make contact with it.

Brendon Santalab – N/A

A clever backheel and an aggressive foul were the only notable moments in his short cameo.
