Perth Glory achieved a significant milestone with a 2–0 win over Macarthur FC at Campbelltown Stadium, marking their first back-to-back away victories since 2021. The match also represented their first-ever triumph in Campbelltown. This result further strengthens interim coach Adam Griffiths’ bid to be appointed on a full-time basis.
Perth seized control early, with goals from Adam Taggart and Stefan Colakovski sealing the win. Taggart’s precise finish set the tone for the visitors, while Colakovski doubled the lead before halftime after capitalizing on defensive errors. Macarthur struggled to recover, unable to find a response throughout the match.
Since stepping into the interim coaching role, Adam Griffiths has rejuvenated the team’s attacking style and improved consistency on the road. His leadership has brought renewed energy and tactical discipline, leading many to speculate that he may soon be confirmed as permanent head coach.
"It’s about building belief and momentum," Griffiths said post-match. "The players have shown great commitment and understanding of what we’re trying to achieve."
For Macarthur FC, the defeat highlights growing concerns in defence and midfield organization. Despite entering the match with higher possession, they failed to translate control into meaningful chances and were repeatedly exposed during transitions.
Perth Glory’s recent form lifts them higher in the A-League Men standings and provides a solid foundation for the remainder of the season. Their next challenge will test whether this resurgence can be sustained as they prepare for another away fixture.
"We’re improving every week," captain Adam Taggart said. "This team has belief again, and that’s what’s been missing."
