Perth Glory defeated Adelaide United 4-0 on Sunday as the visitors fielded a young side managing a busy fixture schedule.

Perth Glory defeated Adelaide United 4-0 on Sunday at HBF Park in a one-sided A-League match. Adelaide fielded a young starting XI featuring eight under-23 players given the club's fixture congestion, playing their third match in eight days with another AFC Champions League game scheduled for Thursday in Singapore. Star Socceroo Craig Goodwin did not feature, with Ryan Kitto and Juan Muniz on the bench.

Glory scored three goals in the first 33 minutes. Jaiden Kucharski opened the scoring in the 16th minute after a defensive error from 18-year-old Adelaide defender Feyzo Kasumovic, who attempted a pass across the box while under pressure. Teenage defender Tadi Kuzamba scored his maiden A-League goal in the 20th minute, and Stefan Colakovski added Perth's third before half-time. Matthew Ellis completed the rout with a header in the 85th minute.

The result left Adelaide with back-to-back losses to start the season and without a win. Perth Glory improved to one win and two defeats after three games.
