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!

#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.

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

Glory coach Stephen Peters goes to his bench in an attempt to get a goal.
Rola Badawiya and Ella Abdul Massih OFF

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.
