PENALTY?! Feijao seizes on a loose ball and quickly locates Doka, who is in a promising position on the left side of the box. Doka attempts to deliver a pass to Edmondson, but his attempt is deflected off Canga before being cleared away. In a surprising turn of events, the referee points to the penalty spot, claiming that the ball struck Canga's left arm, and the decision is now under review by VAR for confirmation. The referee is called to the monitor... and it's ruled out. The referee says Canga's arm was in a natural position.

Steele manages to win possession in midfield, creating an opportunity for the Mariners to build an attack. However, Kaltak's subsequent long pass aimed at Brandtman proves to be overly ambitious and lacks accuracy. The ball rolls harmlessly through to Sail, who collects it without any challenge.

Mauragis is looking increasingly dangerous on the left flank as he whips in a threatening cross aimed at the box. Kuzevski rises to meet it, but he makes a late decision to go for the header when Brandtman, positioned behind him, had a clearer opportunity to score. The ball glances off Kuzevski's head and sails behind him, ultimately resulting in a missed chance for the Mariners to capitalize on a promising attack.

Canga makes a crucial defensive play to win the ball back, allowing Perth to launch a counterattack. Taggart finds himself with plenty of space on the right and looks to exploit it with a cross aimed for Faisal in the box. However, Paull is alert to the danger and rises to head the ball clear, thwarting Perth's attacking intentions and allowing the Mariners to reset defensively.

The Mariners are making a bold move with two attacking substitutions, bringing on Edmondson and Feijao in place of Kuol and Brandtman. This shift demonstrates their intent to inject fresh energy and creativity into the forward line as they seek to break through the Perth defense.

Despite the intensity, neither side has found the breakthrough goal they desperately seek. The Mariners' efforts in the final third have been undermined by some missed opportunities, while Perth's attempts have lacked the necessary sharpness to trouble the Mariners' goalkeeper, Peraic-Cullen, significantly. As they head into the second half, both teams will be looking to regroup and find a way to convert their chances into goals. The Mariners will want to focus on improving their finishing, while Perth need to find a way to exploit the space created by their opponents’ press. 

After only two rounds of the new A-League season, Perth Glory find themselves facing a turbulent start and a deepening sense of crisis. The club had a disappointing last season, finishing in last place, and early performances this year show little sign of improvement. Hopes of a turnaround have been met with further struggles, leaving fans and management questioning whether the team has what it takes to bounce back. With a new season ahead, Glory face mounting pressure to correct course and deliver results that hint at progress.

Perth Glory earn a free kick in midfield, presenting them with a promising opportunity to regroup and strategize. However, Paull steps in to halt their quick execution of the kick, impeding their momentum and forcing the referee to take action. As a result, Paull receives a booking for his efforts.

SAVE! Taggart expertly brings down a long pass and spots Blair in a promising position inside the left of the box. With an opportunity to make an impact, Blair takes the shot but fails to capitalize, directing it straight at Peraic-Cullen. The goalkeeper stands firm, making a routine save to keep the game level.

Doka locates McCalmont on the left side of the box, but under pressure from the defenders, he’s forced to retreat with the ball. Spotting an opportunity, he shifts the play to Kuzevski, who is unmarked on the right flank. Kuzevski sends a well-placed cross into the box, but it just evades Kuol, who was poised to tap it in, allowing Perth to breathe a sigh of relief as they manage to clear the danger.

Steele sends a long ball downfield in search of Brandtman, who is making a run. However, Canga positions himself well and comfortably wins the header, asserting his presence in defense. Perth regain control of the ball and look to settle back into their passing game.

Perth Glory make two significant attacking substitutions as Blair and Ngo enter the fray, replacing Williams and Faisal. This tactical shift indicates a desire to inject fresh energy and creativity into the attack.

Kuzevski showcases his skill by successfully outpacing Faisal on the right flank, demonstrating his determination to create an opportunity for the Mariners. However, despite his efforts, he is unable to keep the ball in play as it rolls out of bounds. Frustrated by the lack of a call from the referee for what he believes was a shirt pull, Kuzevski appeals for a foul, but the referee remains unresponsive.

SAVE! McCalmont makes a surging run into the box from the left and slides a low ball across for Kuzevski. He gets a shot off, but it’s too direct, allowing Sail to react. The effort takes a slight deflection, but Sail is alert and manages to push it away, keeping the Mariners from taking an early lead.

Doka picks out Kuol positioned inside the left side of the box, giving him a prime opportunity to create a scoring chance. Kuol tries to deliver a cross, but Carluccio is quick to respond and blocks the attempt, forcing Kuol to try again. Undeterred, Kuol takes a second shot at crossing the ball, only to be met with another solid block from Carluccio, who remains resolute in defense.

CHANCE! Brandtman finds Kuzevski on the right, and Kuzevski fights hard to win a corner for the Mariners. Doka steps up to take the corner, delivering a well-placed ball into the box. Kuol rises to win the first header, directing it towards the unmarked Paull inside the left side of the box, but in a moment of misfortune, Paull miskicks the ball, sending it away from him and wasting a golden opportunity for the Mariners.

The final whistle brings an end to an evenly balanced match between the Central Coast Mariners and Perth Glory, with both teams sharing the spoils after a goalless draw. Despite the Mariners enjoying the bulk of possession, they couldn’t translate their dominance into concrete chances, with Perth’s defense holding firm to prevent any major breakthroughs. Both sides struggled to break the deadlock, reflecting a game more about control in midfield than incisive attacking. Central Coast worked hard to control the tempo, frequently pushing forward and looking to unlock Perth’s backline. The Mariners found some success through the wings, with Mauragis and Doka showing intent, but Perth’s organized defensive setup limited any real goal-scoring opportunities. Perth, in turn, relied on counter-attacks, with players like Taggart and Williams occasionally testing Central Coast’s defense, though they, too, failed to find the final product.

And we’re off as the Mariners kick things off, quickly passing it back to Peraic-Cullen. He wastes no time and sends a long ball forward, looking to catch Perth off guard. However, Perth manage the situation well, with the referee awarding them a free kick to settle play down and gain control.

Carluccio and Ngo work together on the right side, trying to create an opening, but they find the spaces tightly closed off. Perth, content to hold onto possession, continue to circulate the ball as they look for opportunities to exploit any gaps in the Mariners' defense. 

OVER! Ngor bursts forward down the left wing, showcasing impressive speed as he sprints into space. He delivers a low ball across the edge of the box, setting up Edmondson perfectly for a strike. However, in a rush to capitalize on the opportunity, Edmondson hits it first time and sends his shot soaring well over the bar.

McCalmont connects with Doka, who advances down the left flank before skillfully cutting inside to set up a shot aimed at the bottom left corner of the goal. Just as Doka releases his effort, Canga makes a crucial defensive play, stepping in to block the shot and prevent the ball from reaching the net.

WIDE! O'Neill picks out Faisal on the left, and he showcases his skill by brilliantly cutting inside past his markers. With space opening up in front of him, Faisal decides to take a shot from distance, unleashing a low drive aimed at the bottom left corner. Unfortunately for Perth, the effort narrowly misses the target, grazing past the post and leaving them frustrated but encouraged by the attempt.

The Mariners attempt to build from the back, but they encounter a solid pressing effort from the Perth players. Under pressure, McCalmont manages to find Mauragis on the left, who looks to deliver a cross into the box. However, the ball sails behind Kuol, and the defense quickly clears the danger.

SAVE! The ball is quickly spread out to Williams on the right flank, where he skillfully cuts inside to create space. He then lays it off to Taggart, who finds himself inside the right side of the box. With a tight angle to work with, Taggart attempts a shot, but Peraic-Cullen closes down the space effectively and blocks the effort, ensuring no danger for the Mariners.

Kuzevski and Brandtman link up on the right flank, looking to create an opening for the Mariners. However, they encounter strong pressure from the Perth defenders, which disrupts their momentum. Faced with limited options, Brandtman is forced to play the ball backward, retreating to maintain possession.

Mauragis collects the ball and expertly finds Steele in midfield, who then spots Brandtman positioned at the edge of the box. Brandtman attempts an ambitious back heel flick to create a scoring opportunity, but unfortunately, the pass doesn't connect as intended and fails to pose any real threat. Barr quickly steps in to clear the ball away.

The Mariners make two additional substitutions, bringing on Ngor and Eames to replace Kuzevski and Steele.

Since securing back-to-back A-League premierships, things haven't quite gone as planned for the Mariners. Despite their recent success, they’ve encountered a challenging start to the season, though they might not be overly concerned just yet. Last season also saw them find their footing slowly before ramping up, so there's hope they can follow a similar trajectory. Still, Central Coast have hit some early hurdles, struggling in the Asian Champions League Elite fixtures with back-to-back losses to Buriram and Shanghai Port. They were also dealt an early blow in the Australia Cup, where Heidelberg United knocked them out in the Round of 32, highlighting a rocky run in competitions outside the league.

Doka makes a strong run through the middle, aiming to set up Edmondson in the box with a precise pass. However, his attempt is thwarted as it deflects off a defender, altering its course. Ngor is quick to react and collects the loose ball, but his efforts to create a chance are brought to a halt by the assistant referee's flag for offside.

WIDE! Peraic-Cullen attempts to play out from the back, but his pass is intercepted by Aoyama, who struggles to get a firm grip on the ball. Seizing the moment, O'Neill steps up to take a shot, but his attempt goes wide to the left, much to the relief of Peraic-Cullen.

The Mariners will look to address their scoring issues while Perth hope to build on this resilient showing in their upcoming fixtures. Both sides can take some positives from this encounter but will need more offensive firepower to start racking up wins. The Mariners shift focus to the AFC Champions League midweek, where they’ll host Shanghai Shenhua, while Perth prepare to welcome Melbourne City in their next league match.

Tapp is visibly struggling once more with the injury to his left leg that he sustained earlier in the match. Recognizing that he can no longer continue effectively, the coaching staff decides to substitute him off. Herrington comes on to replace him in defense.

Barr misjudges his attempt to head clear a long ball, putting his team in a precarious position, but Canga is quick to react and comes to his defense, clearing the danger effectively. There’s a moment of concern as the referee initiates a brief VAR check to see if Barr's hands made contact with the ball during the play. Fortunately for Barr and the Mariners, the review confirms that there was no infringement.

The Mariners push forward as Herrington finds himself with plenty of time on the ball. While Doka calls for it on the right, Herrington opts to switch play to the left, looking for Feijao. However, the pass is overhit, racing past Feijao and rolling out of play, wasting a promising opportunity for the Mariners to create something meaningful in the attacking third.

Gomulka has possession in midfield and attempts to lift a pass over the defense for Faisal on the left. However, his delivery lacks the necessary precision and sails through without reaching its intended target. Peraic-Cullen is quick to react, comfortably gathering the ball.

In the A-League, the Mariners have managed to stay unbeaten in their opening matches, albeit, those two matches being draws. Their season opener saw a scoreless draw against Melbourne Victory, a rematch of last year’s Grand Final, demonstrating their ability to hold their own despite recent setbacks. They followed up with another point from a 1-1 draw against Adelaide, showing flashes of their resilience but ultimately not good enough to secure the win. The Mariners know they’ll need to build on these results and work harder to regain their winning form, but they remain focused and optimistic about turning things around in the weeks ahead.

Eames connects with Doka on the right flank, who then shifts the ball to Feijao, positioned outside the right side of the box. However, Lisolajski applies effective pressure, forcing Feijao wide and compelling him to play a backward pass instead of advancing towards the goal.

Following the VAR delay, Pennington receives a pass in midfield and attempts to send a hopeful lob towards Taggart. However, the ball lacks precision and is easily dealt with by the Mariners' defense, who quickly regain control.

O'Neill and Williams link up on the right side, looking to create an opening, but they find the spaces tightly closed off by the Mariners' defense. Under pressure, they are forced to retreat, unable to penetrate the back line effectively. Eventually, they manage to win a throw-in, giving them a chance to reset and plan their next move.

Kuzevski makes a decisive move to dispossess Faisal in midfield, showcasing his determination and tenacity. In response, Faisal quickly retaliates, catching Kuzevski with a foul to regain possession. The referee promptly intervenes to prevent any potential altercation from escalating.

As the first half comes to a close, the match between the Mariners and Perth Glory has been a tense and competitive affair, marked by numerous attacking attempts and solid defensive displays from both sides. The Mariners have showcased moments of creativity, with players like McCalmont and Kuzevski making significant contributions down the flanks. However, they have struggled to capitalize on their opportunities, with key chances either blocked or failing to find the target. Perth, on the other hand, have been more organized defensively but has faced challenges in their attacking efforts. The team has been pressed hard by the Mariners, leading to some shaky moments at the back. While they attempted to counter through players like Taggart and Faisal, their efforts have often been thwarted by a resilient Mariners defense. 

The Mariners lose possession deep inside their own half, and O'Neill quickly plays the ball to Faisal, who finds himself inside the left side of the box. Faisal attempts to lob a cross into the area, but Peraic-Cullen reacts swiftly, tipping the ball over the bar and preventing a dangerous opportunity. Perth give away a foul from the resulting corner.

WIDE! Blair cleverly spots Taggart making a run and feeds him the ball as Perth launch a quick counterattack. Taggart accelerates down the right side of the box, looking to capitalize on the opportunity with a shot on goal. However, his effort goes awry as he drags the shot well wide of the left post, leaving Perth frustrated.

A change in midfield for Perth now as Pennington replaces O'Neill. 

TEAM NEWS: For the Mariners, Trent Sainsbury remains sidelined with an injury, while Miguel Di Pizio is also out with a knee injury. Kuol and Brandtman continue to lead the lines. For Perth, experienced defender Josh Risdon remains out with a knee injury, while Mustafa Amini and Nikola Mileusnic were doubtful and miss out today. Taggart is the main man up top.

Kuzevski and Steele link up effectively on the right side, moving the ball forward with purpose. They then shift the play to McCalmont in midfield, who looks to slide a pass through to Brandtman. However, the ball rolls harmlessly past Brandtman and into the waiting hands of Sail, who easily collects it and halts the Mariners' momentum.

Tapp makes a lunging challenge on Faisal out on the left flank but ends up coming off worse in the collision. He appears to be struggling with his left leg, indicating that the impact may have taken a toll. He goes to the sideline to receive treatment. He is soon back up.

The Mariners press forward down the left flank, with McCalmont threading a pass to Mauragis on the overlap. Mauragis swings in a low cutback, aiming for teammates in the box, but Barr reads it perfectly and steps in to clear.

The game’s biggest story may be in its implications for both teams. For Central Coast, this third consecutive draw leaves them without a win in their opening three matches, and while they’ve shown glimpses of control, the lack of a cutting edge up front is becoming a concern. For Perth Glory, this first point of the season will be a welcome result after back-to-back losses, with their solid defensive showing suggesting they may be finding their footing.

WIDE! Peraic-Cullen quickly rushes off his line to intercept a long ball, but unfortunately for him, it falls right into the path of Williams. Seizing the opportunity, Williams tries to lob the goalkeeper and aim for the open net, but his effort drifts wide of the left post. That miss brings a sigh of relief for Peraic-Cullen, who narrowly escapes a potential disaster.

Steele expertly transitions the ball to Kuzevski on the right flank, creating an opening for the Mariners to threaten. Kuzevski assesses the situation before delivering a well-aimed cross into the box, looking to find a teammate in a scoring position. However, Barr remains vigilant and rises to meet the ball, heading it clear and alleviating the pressure on the Perth defense.

Perth attempt to build from the back, but the Mariners' high press puts them under serious pressure. Unable to find a safe outlet, Sail is eventually forced to clear the ball downfield. It's solid work from the Mariners, disrupting Perth’s rhythm early on.

We're back in action for the second half as Perth Glory get things rolling with the kickoff. They opt to launch a long ball forward right from the start, but it’s comfortably handled by the Mariners' defense. Additionally, Perth made a strategic substitution at halftime, bringing on Bugarija to replace Aoyama in midfield, signaling their intent to bolster their control in the center of the pitch.

Barr takes too long to make a decision with the ball, allowing Kuol to close him down quickly. In the process, Kuol's challenge sends the ball out of play, but Barr inadvertently catches Kuol in the face with his hands during the struggle. Kuol goes down momentarily, but after a brief pause to gather himself, he gets back to his feet, ready to rejoin the action.

McCalmont plays a pass to Mauragis, who makes a run down the left side, looking to create a chance. However, Carluccio is quick to respond, putting in a solid defensive effort as he slides in to disrupt Mauragis's advance.

Steele connects with Kuzevski on the right flank, who delivers a cross into the box that reaches Kuol. Unfortunately, Kuol's shot is met by a defender, causing it to deflect and ricochet back off him. The play ends with the ball going out for a goal kick.

Doka steps up to take a corner from the right, but it’s swiftly cleared by the defense. Undeterred, McCalmont retrieves the ball and plays it back to Doka, who positions himself for another opportunity. However, Doka's subsequent cross is easily handled by Canga, who remains solid in defense and prevents any danger from developing.

Pennington skillfully maneuvers past Eames, attempting to advance towards the edge of the box. However, Eames reacts quickly and brings him down, conceding a foul in the process. The referee promptly produces a yellow card, penalizing Eames for the tactical challenge.

McCalmont attempts to deliver a pass to Feijao inside the box, but it takes an unfortunate deflection, sending the ball towards the right touchline. Kuzevski races to keep it in play, but he appears fatigued from the intensity of the match and ultimately opts to win a throw-in instead.

Carluccio tries to make a play on the right but ends up giving the ball away, putting his team under pressure. Steele, looking to capitalize on the mistake, attempts to control the loose ball, but he misjudges it and lets it slip away.

Perth Glory’s opening match was nothing short of disastrous, as they conceded six goals on the road against Macarthur, exposing glaring defensive weaknesses. Last week’s 2-0 loss at home to Wellington only underscored their lack of offensive threat and defensive stability. In that match, Perth rarely posed any significant challenge, looking flat and struggling to create clear scoring opportunities. With back-to-back losses and eight goals conceded in just two games, Glory have an uphill battle to regain their form and avoid another season at the bottom of the ladder.

Faisal receives a long pass on the left side and skillfully plays it into the midfield for Williams. Williams quickly shifts the ball to Carluccio on the right, looking to create an attacking opportunity. Unfortunately, Carluccio's cross goes awry, sailing behind the goal and wasting a promising chance for Perth to threaten the Mariners' defense.

Hello everyone and welcome to Tribe's live coverage of this A-League clash between Central Coast Mariners and Perth Glory. I'm Sanil Karan, here to bring you all the action as it unfolds.

Ngo quickly finds Blair in midfield and attempts to orchestrate an attack with a long pass aimed at Taggart. However, the delivery is off target and lacks precision, allowing the Mariners' defense to easily intercept and clear the danger.

Canga sends a long ball down the right side, targeting Carluccio, who demonstrates great skill as he brings it under control. Just as Carluccio prepares to lay the ball off to Williams, Mauragis makes a timely intervention, stepping in to intercept the pass and snuffing out the threat.

Perth’s free kick is launched into the box with precision, finding Canga who rises to meet it. However, he misjudges the angle slightly, only managing to send the ball backwards. The Mariners' defense quickly react, clearing the danger before Perth can capitalize on the loose ball.
