Sidnei Sciola had the first real chance of the match for Perth after half an hour, firing in a shot from the right of the box, forcing a strong save from Adelaide keeper Eugene Galekovic.

Galekovic did well to deny Richard Garcia after Glory threatened through a direct counter-attack, before Michael Marrone saw a miss-hit cross ricochet off the bar.

Chances were few and far between in the second 45 minutes as both managers made all three substitutions, but the hosts did have to hold off a spell of late pressure to secure their first league win of the season.

Adelaide are now unbeaten in their last six home A-League matches against the Glory, while Perth have now only recorded one win in their last 11 league matches against Adelaide.
