Asia beckons for Perth Glory following City-Roar draw

With a favourable draw and an impressive attacking trio, the men in purple should be favourites to qualify for the 2018 AFC Champions League

COMMENT

Perth Glory were the big winners of Melbourne City's 2-2 draw with Brisbane Roar, with the Western Australians well-placed to push for third and AFC Champions League (ACL) qualification.

Brisbane looked set to continue an impressive few weeks on Saturday night when they entered half-time two goals to the good, but City fought back against their travel-weary visitors to claim a point at AAMI Park.

The draw leaves Roar (29 points) in third in the A-League table with City (27) in fourth but fifth-placed Glory are only behind the latter on goal difference.
