Perth Glory handed the defending A-League champions Melbourne Victory their third consecutive defeat on Wednesday with a 1-0 victory.

Perth substitute Diego Castro's strike midway through the second half was the only goal of the game to secure the club's second win in a row.

Jamal Reiners, a 17-year-old striker making his first start for Perth, charged down the left wing and into the box, before passing across to Castro for an easy tap-in.
