Perth Glory’s 3-1 victory over Western Sydney on Friday night was notable for several reasons. Firstly, Stephen Peters’ team ended a long-standing away day struggle in the Ninja A-League, a challenge that had affected them since 2023.

“A drought-breaking win for Perth Glory,” said Network 10 commentator Ben Homer as referee Isabella Mossin ended the match. “Their first away win in almost two years. A match which kicked off an hour and 15 minutes late. Lightning delays, storms, and finally Perth Glory get to celebrate a monumental win on the road. Now they can begin to build some momentum this season.”

Another highlight was Gabby Hollar scoring for the first time since January, marking a key moment for the team.
