Sydney FC and Central Coast Mariners remain the teams to beat in the E-League while Adelaide United hold onto fourth despite losing to Perth Glory in Round 4 of the E-League.
Adelaide United 3-4 Perth Glory
- Perth Glory caused a boilover to move level with Adelaide United on six points.
PS4: Zachary ‘vDreamz-Shooter’ May-Burgess 2-3 Peter ‘saisanas’ Saisanas
Zachary May-Burgess’ impressive second-half comeback fell just short as Peter Saisanas escaped with a 3-2 win for Perth.
Saisanas started brightly, notching the first on 17 minutes and doubling his advantage with a bottom-corner finish after the half-hour.
May-Burgess got on the front foot in an attempt to keep the tie alive and he did just that beyond half-time, cutting the deficit courtesy of a Shane Lowry own goal and then drawing level 20 minutes from time.
However, Saisanas survived the scare as he surged forward once more and unleashed a Ruud Gullit piledriver to recapture a decisive lead.

Xbox: Jamie ‘FUTWIZ Jamie’ O’Doherty 1-1 David ‘HighFly357’ Cook
David Cook held on for a 1-1 draw with Jamie O’Doherty that sealed a valuable overall victory for Perth.
Cook crucially edged ahead right on half-time, only for O’Doherty to claw level immediately after the restart.
The Reds representative then spurned a gilt-edged chance to level matters on aggregate and it proved costly, Adelaide slipping to their second defeat in four rounds.
Disappointing result for me. Had some real clear cut chances to win the game but that’s FIFA, onto next week against City. Credit to @HighFly357 for the solid performance. #AUFC https://t.co/2aSVxlaqHa
