The Bulls maintained their one-goal lead into the break. The second half started slower compared to the first, but Ulises Davila conducted a masterclass in the Bulls’ midfield throughout the match.
The Bulls persisted in their efforts during the second half, but Perth managed to equalise in the 72nd minute after Mustafa Amini successfully converted a penalty.
