A one-man rearguard from Steven Hall
There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Perth Glory through in the cup
A 3‑2 win over Macarthur FC, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Nickolas Alfaro breaks Macarthur FC hearts
Some goals win a match and some take one off somebody else. Nickolas Alfaro scored in the 88th minute, Macarthur FC had already begun thinking about the journey home, and Perth Glory took the lot.

A brace, and Caleb Nelson takes the afternoon — 8.89
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Caleb Nelson provided it, and the 8.89 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Max Davies could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.26
Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.26, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

No sign of nerves from Declan Gordon at 20 — 8.88
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Declan Gordon did not need any: 8.88, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

At 20, Declan Gordon is already the best thing here
An average of 7.29 in a first team he is several years too young for. Perth Glory have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Perth Glory make it 4 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Perth Glory have 4 straight wins of it.

Karl Harry Leban in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Perth Glory this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
