Fulltime here at Pirtek Stadium. The Wanderers were untroubled for almost the entirety of the match and were utterly convincing, the result in the lead-up to the A-League finals. With three games to go, sitting in second place on the A-League ladder, the Wanderers have a week off before they resume their title. Will the ACL campaign hinder their A-League title chances? Time will tell.
For the Glory, they look destined for the wooden spoon. They rarely troubled the Wanderers and could barely hold the ball.
Western Sydney Wanderers 3 Perth Glory 0.
Thanks and good night.

William Gallas is cutting a lonely figure for the Glory up front. He looks injured and has been told to stay on the pitch to fill space for the remaining minute.

85th min: Great save by Duncan who, in my opinion, has been man-of-the-match for the Glory. He stood tall and smothered a Hersi shot from within the box. Hersi can't buy a goal today. He's had seven shots, hit the target six times with no goals to show for his efforts. To be fair to the Dutchman he has been dangerous all game and drawn the defenders all day. Can't question his effort and intent.

GOAL! Hersi found space in the box before feeding Tomi Juric who thunders the ball into the Glory net. Great strike from Juric who still had a bit to do. Great pivot and snap-shot from within the 32-yard box. That will give the 12,128 crowd something to cheer about. 3-0 Wanderers.

Substitute for the Wanderers as Brendan Santalab exits the pitch with Tomi Juric introduced to the match. He's toiled well with Gallas, kept the big central defender busy, creating space for the Wanderers attack.

70th min: The game has taken a scrappy turn, the Wanderers are attacking with less width and Perth are happy to absorb the incursions. Perth were attempting to muscle their way back into the game but were cruely exposed by the Wanderers second goal. Let's hope the Glory continue to attack and make a game of this match. The wooden spoon is on the line after all.

GOAL! Mark Bridge extends the advantage for the Wanderers - 2-0. Davies gave Bridge too much room showing him the right hand sideline, Bridge shimmied onto his left, shot across Duncan, placing the ball into the bottom corner. Duncan without fault there. Davies wasn't tight enough and Bridge capitalised. Just reward for the Wanderers who now have some breathing room.

Hersi again finds himself in plenty of space. but can't deliver a telling ball into the box. That's surely has been a weakness of Hersi's play not only today but throughout the season. Undoubtedly the Dutchman is adept in finding himself space and getting into good positions with his pace and trickery but his shots and final balls have been of lesser quality. He could have had two or three goals today.
