Adelaide United and Perth Glory trade tackles in an Australian A League matchday five clash on Friday at the Coopers Stadium.

Jay O'Shea restored Roar's lead from the spot 10 minutes later. Zach Clough and Archie Goodwin, though, scored after the break to complete Adelaide's comeback.
Perth, meanwhile, fell to a 3-1 home defeat to Western United. They went ahead through Trent Ostler's 52nd-minute strike before Dylan Leonard equalised at the hour-mark. Hiroshi Ibusuki scored a brace to help Western leave with all three points.
