It was always going to be a nervy one, and so it turned out to be. Lots of mis-placed passes and the home crowd getting increasingly frustrated with the Premiers Plate so tantalisingly close. In the 1st half the Jets hit the bar and had a goal ruled out for offside by VAR. Glory thought VAR was going to award them a penalty, but the ref had a look and stuck with his original decision. Glory came out all guns blazing in the 2nd half and pegged the Jets back. They had the ball in the net twice but offside on both occasions, before captain Diego Castro, who was having a poor game by his usual high standards, showed his class with a lovely through ball which the right-back Ivan Franjic slotted home beautifully. Cue a massive roar of relief from the home crowd. Glory couldn't get a 2nd, so a nervy end with Jets pushing for a goal and the Glory keeper pulling off a couple of good saves.
Afterwards Glory got presented with the Premiers Plate, which I thought they would have held off until their last home fixture in a fortnight's time. Only 11,350 turned up which is rather disappointing considering what was at stake, especially as over 17,000 were there only a fortnight ago. That game 2 weeks ago was at 7pm on a Saturday night which is considered the prime time kick-off, and with the Easter school holidays having just started I can see why the crowd was down, but I can't help feel that the rain today turned quite a few of the Perth folk off, which is bloody pathetic.
