Match Report
No Popa No Problems
The perfect start to the campaign for the Wanderers as they come away with the 3 points against a spirited Perth Glory outfit.
Western Sydney dominated the first half and it started off with Jumpei getting in behind the defence but only being denied by Poscoliero who was immense for Perth in defence tonight.
Shots were flying in thick and fast and it took a couple of the new signings to break the deadlock as Cejudo who was brilliant in midfield all night finding his fellow Spainard Riera with a beautiful ball as he calmly placed the ball around Reddy.
90 seconds later and the Wanderers were in again as Hamill slid in Jumpei beautifully with a ball behind and he scored brilliantly.
The 2nd half started much the same and the game should have been dead and buried as Riera found a heap of space in the ball but somehow skied the ball over.
Finally Perth woke up and their midfield maestro Diego Castro was getting alot more of the ball and was finding a heap of space.
Janjetovic made back to back good saves to keep their lead in tact as Glory peppered the goals for a good 15minute spell. Until it took a deflected Keogh header into Hamill for Perth to score late on.
Glory kept pressing and had multiple corners late on but couldnt find that equalizer.
Western Sydney would be ecstatic with how they have come out to play and perform especially their new signings Cejudo,Riera and Bonevacia and will threaten and defence this season.
Perth will want to improve on tonights performance and the scoreline should have been much worse. They will need to sign another defender at the minimum. The positive they cant take out is how good Castro looks when he gets on the ball. Just need to see more of it.
