The final minutes saw Perth managing the game well, slowing down play and making tactical substitutions to kill time. Brisbane couldn't find that final spark and their best chance came when Hangert's header went just over the bar, a missed opportunity that would prove to be their last real attempt at equalizing. Perth took all three points in a deserved, if scrappy, victory. Perth's resilience at the back and a clinical finish from Williams were enough to secure a narrow win.
It was a hard-fought, low-quality match that saw Perth Glory edge Brisbane Roar to claim the win. Both teams struggled to create clear-cut chances, with Brisbane coming closest in the first half when Jelacic struck the crossbar with a long-range shot. Perth, on the other hand, had more attacking possession but lacked the sharpness to trouble Brisbane's defense. As the game wore on, it was clear that both sides were lacking creativity in the final third. The second half began in similar fashion, with both teams unable to make any significant breakthroughs. Brisbane made a few changes, hoping to inject fresh energy into their attack, but the Perth defense held strong. The breakthrough came late for Perth as a cross from Risdon found Williams inside the box. Williams calmly slotted it into the bottom left corner to give Perth the lead. Despite late pressure from Brisbane, including a few dangerous free kicks and crosses, Perth held firm in defense, with Cook making some crucial saves and the backline staying composed under pressure.
PERTH GET THEIR FIRST WIN OF THE SEASON! BRISBANE REMAIN WINLESS!
