Glory stuns victory in five-goal thriller

Tony Popovic earned his first A-League victory as Perth Glory boss thanks to Chris Ikonomidis' 93rd-minute winner over Melbourne Victory.

Chris Ikonomidis broke the hearts of victory in Melbourne and gave Tony Popovic his first A-League victory as the boss of Perth Glory, scoring a 93rd-minute goal on a 3-2 AAM Park stunner.

Socceroo took advantage of Victory's strong comeback with a late and brilliant goal after the champions cleared their 2-0 deficit.

Keisuke Honda prepared both of Victory's answers, setting the goal for Terry Antonis in the 47th minute, and then qualifying for Storm Roux's equalizer with three minutes remaining.

The former rear Glory found himself alone in the box to go to the corner of Honda and provoke scenes unleashed among the 17 219 present.
They remained silent when Popovic's players rallied and responded late. Ikonomidis added the efforts of Joel Chianese and Andy Keogh at the start of the best game of the A-League season.

In a physical case, Perth – as expected under their new boss – was organized and ruthless from the start.

The side defenders of the victory were asleep for the opening of the match as Ivan Franjic scurried to the right and pbaded for Jason Davidson on the left.
Antonis failed to manage the center, allowing Chianese to return from the offside position.

A quarter of an hour later, the four backs of the ball watched as Keogh made his way, taking advantage of Tomislav Mrcela's permission to allow the defense to score a second goal after Lawrence Thomas.

The victory was asleep but coach Kevin Muscat shook the cage during the interval and saw his side rise.

Honda found Antonis 25m from the goal and the young midfielder shot a well placed shot in the 28th minute from the back post as the rally started.
The victory was allowed and continued the game, probing Glory from all angles.

Their momentum stopped with two wounds.

Kenjok Athiu injured the hamstring before Georg Niedermeier was knocked out by Liam Reddy in a violent collision.

The imposing German jumped on a free kick and was hit by the arriving goalkeeper, which necessitated his replacement.

The resurgence of Victory seemed to be flat before the perfect delivery of the corner of the Japanese international allowed the Kiwi to score his first goal in Victory.

We can not deny glory. Ikonomidis scored a rebound after Chianese escaped with speed on the right flank.

While Glory took off under Popovic, the result leaves Victory on the bottom of the A-League, the only club to ever score a point.
