Adelaide have rained on Perth Glory's homecoming with a 1-0 A-League Women victory at Macedonia Park.
A 19th-minute strike from Dylan Holmes proved the difference in Sunday's clash, with Glory not able to find the equaliser despite dominating the second half.
The win lifted Adelaide to equal top spot on the ladder following two wins from as many matches.
Glory have just one point from two games after a 2-2 draw with Canberra in last week's season opener.
Sunday's match marked Glory's first home game since round one last season, but it was Adelaide who created the better chances in the first half.
Chelsie Dawber broke open Glory's defence in the 19th minute with a run down the right and a dangerous pass across the box, where Holmes was on hand to lash home the goal.
Adelaide could have easily been 3-0 up at half-time with a bit more luck.
Xiao Yuyi and Emilia Murray missed golden chances within a few minutes of each other, and Glory goalkeeper Sarah Langman was the hero on two other occasions.
Langman charged out to deny Xiao in a one-on-one chance in the 29th minute, and she scrambled back six minutes later to slap a goalward-bound lob away following a mix-up between two Glory defenders.
Chances were few and far between for Glory in the first half, with captain Natasha Rigby's long-range strike in the 27th minute their first true shot on target.
Adelaide had 12 shots to four in the first half, with five on target.
Glory found their groove after the break, with midfielder Hana Lowry involved in the thick of the action in several promising passages of play.
Lowry produced a beautifully-weighted pass to Cyera Hintzen, who struck her shot straight at the goalkeeper from a tough angle.
Then in the 61st minute, Lowry almost levelled the scores - only for her first shot to be blocked, and her second to roll just wide.
Rylee Baisden's low drive was saved by the outstretched leg of Adelaide goalkeeper Annalee Grove in the 76th minute, and the visitors' defence endured some more nervy moments as Glory continued to push for the equaliser.
