Perth Glory‘s captain, Adam Taggart, displayed a stellar performance with two goals in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Brisbane Roar at HBF Park, sending a clear message to Socceroos coach Graham Arnold.

Taggart, a former Australia international, enhanced his Golden Boot chances with a tally of 12 goals for the 2023-24 season, putting him in contention for a national team recall.

Paramount+ commentators, Teo Pellizzeri and Phil Moss, highlighted Taggart’s form as a key topic of conversation for the Socceroos, emphasizing not just his scoring but also his overall impact on the game.

With the win, Perth Glory extended their unbeaten streak to five matches, positioning themselves within six points of the A-League top six, while Brisbane Roar sits four points adrift from a finals spot.

The match began with an early goal from Taggart, taking advantage of an impeccable cross with a precision header that put the home side in front.

Brisbane responded swiftly, with Nicolas Mileusnic showcasing individual brilliance to level the score before Thomas Waddingham’s goal shifted the momentum in favor of the Roar.

Despite Brisbane’s lead, Perth continued to press forward, with goalkeeper Macklin Freke thwarting several goal-scoring opportunities to keep the Roar in the game.

Taggart’s second goal, a clinical finish from a challenging angle, equalized the scoreline, setting the stage for Stefan Colakovski’s late strike that secured the victory for Perth Glory.
