A disappointing end to the seaosn for Glory who have finished with a winless streak of 4 games after having the destiny of finals football in their own hands. Defensively sound but ultimately the lack of a cutting edge has hurt them.
This @cneilb.bsky.social signing off for the final time.

Annd thats full time. A hard fought win for Victory to lift them to 5th spot. Peters and Hopkins exchanging a lot of words at the final whistle and both coaches clearly annoyed with each other.
A win is a win at this stage of the season and Victory can now just wait on other results.
FT 0-1
#PERvMVC

Furphy has had to leave the pitch as she is clearly affected by that knock and Grace Maher replaces her.
Stephen Peters really unahppy by the fact Furphy went back on initially but is now off.
4th official indicates a minimum of 6 minutes additional time.
93' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Break in play for Furphy who has a nasty head injury after a clash in the box following a corner for Glory.
Hopkins using the break to relay more instructions.
86' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Victory coach Hopkins is now very animated as he urges his players on and Sakalis nearly puts it in following a good run by Furphy.
That was close!
85' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Double sub for Victory
Pollicina and Jancevski OFF
Flannery and Blissett ON
81' 0-1
#PERvMVC

The substitutions mean there are now 7 West Australians on the field for @perthglory.bsky.social
79' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Break in play as Zogg gets some treatment and is eventually substituted by Anderson. The game is very transitional from both sides with neither team able to keep the ball for any length of time. The break allows both coaches to relay instructions to their teams.
76' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Another double sub for Glory.
Westaway and Hollar OFF
Wainwright and Wood ON
75' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Much to the delight of the home crowd a yellow is given to Jancevski for a blatant shirt pull.
73' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Action getting a little more frantic now. Free kick to Victory taken by Pollicina. Cleared by Glory to Sakalis at the top of the box but her shot is safely gathered by Morrissey.
69' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Its Hopkins turn to use his bench.
Ella O'Grady OFF
Sofia Sakalis ON
67'0-1
#PERvMVC

Chance!!! Trew through on goal but delayed her shot and Victory were able to clear.
66' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Glory coach Stephen Peters goes to his bench in an attempt to get a goal.
Rola Badawiya and Ella Abdul Massih OFF
Bronte Trew and Ella Lincoln ON
64' 0-1
#PERvMVC

The Pollicina-Morrison combo used again as another free kick sees the ball go wide after Morrison failed to connect.
56' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Close!!! Free kick by Lowe is headed over by Morrison.
54' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Glory to get us underway. As things stand, Victory sit in 5th spot but one goal is surely not enough for them to win this.
0-1
#PERvMVC

Teams are out for the 2nd half, with no changes for either team.
0-1
#PERvMVC

Victory coach Hopkins won't be pleased by the performance of his side in the attacking third, but he can't fault their work rate and endeavour at the other end. They need to break Glory's press and get Pollicina on the ball if they are to increase their lead and get the 3 points.
HT 0-1
#PERvMVC

Annnd that's half time. Despite dominating possession, Glory find themselves a goal down at the break. Massih has been a threat down the left wing, but Glory have yet to register a shot on target despite 9 touches in the opposition box.
HT 0-1
#PERvMVC

4th official has indicated a minimum of 3 additional minutes.
45' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Short break in play as Holly Furphy receives treatment following a robust challenge by McKenna. Back on her feet and play resumes.
41' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Bit of push and shove between Morrissey and White as the keeper objected to the challenge by the Victory player, others joined in and eventually a card was shown to the Perth keeper. Definitely a bit of feeling between the players.
39' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Lowe is back on her feet and play resumes.
35' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Break in play as Rachel Lowe receives some treatment and there was a little bit of interaction between Hopkins and Peters, with both teams coming to their respective benches. Not sure what it was all about, but it all adds to the drama!
33' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Close!!! Massih with a good effort but its deflected just past the post for a corner.
31' 0-1
#PERvMVC

To show how much that goal was against the run of play, Glory currently have 75% possession and 3 touches in the opposition box, but the only stat that counts is the scoresheet.
27' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Goallll!!!
Bunge with a close range header after the corner to make it 1-0 to the visitors.
It has to be said that the goal was against the run of play but Victory won't care about that.
22' 0-1
#PERvMVC

Close!!! Pollicina with a chip shot after a corner that Morrissey is forced to save and concede a second corner.
21' 0-0
