PERTH GLORY

Liam Reddy – 7 - McCormack too good on the dead-ball and he did well to get across but was never stopping it. Wasn’t really tested after that which is rare for this fixture for Liam Reddy.

Shane Lowry – 7 - dealt with any aerial attempts from the opposition and stood tall throughout.

Alex Grant – 7 - gave the needless foul away that led to McCormack’s equalizer but along with Lowry wasn’t tested too much.

Jeremy Walker – 6 - Didn’t have a lot to do and gave the ball away needlessly when he did get involved.

Joseph Mills – 6 - Stuck to the left for most of the night and helped contain a busy Melbourne City outfit in the second half.

Jacob Italiano – 7.5 - bursting run forward in the lead up to Glory’s opener and showed great confidence in his young A-League career. Was the victim of a studs up challenge from Malik which won his side a penalty and the lead.

Brandon Wilson – 6.5 - Worked hard with Xavi Torres even when City were reduced. He did a lot of work off the ball but didn’t close down when needed and allowed the opposition to hold possession, putting unnecessary pressure on his team.

Xavi Torres – 7.5 - Seems to be getting better with every week and distributed the ball well through the lines. Coolly slotted home a first-half penalty to put the Glory up 2-1. Has taken on set-piece duties in Castro’s absence and looks like Diego will have to wrestle them back. Sat back a bit in a second half but City couldn’t break the lines.
