Adelaide United’s win over Perth Glory at Coopers Stadium furthers the Club’s record breaking undefeated streak, which now sits at eight games.
Adelaide’s American import Erin Healy opened the scoring for the home side with a shot that beat Perth keeper Casey Dumont before she had realised what had happened. Emily Condon supplied the assist.
With continued pressure applied to the Glory, Adelaide doubled their lead when Chelsie Dawber received a cross from Lucia Leon inside the six-yard box. Dawber was cleverly able to lift the ball up and over her defender and the waiting keeper.
United continued pushing for a third goal to seal the win, while doing everything they could to ensure they did not have a repeat performance of last week’s game against Sydney FC where they let go of their 2-0 lead.
Perth had a few decent opportunities on goal, but they were no match for Adelaide keeper Claudia Jenkins, who put in another impressive shift between the sticks for the Reds.
After multiple missed chances, Adelaide finally found their third and final goal, in the third minute of stoppage time.
Healy collected her brace by pouncing on a loose ball in the box that had not been effectively cleared, smashing the ball into the left corner and collecting all three points for her side.
Adelaide’s win now sends them up to second on the table only four points away from the top, and leave Perth seated in ninth with their finals hopes slowly dwindling away from them.
