Perth Glory coach Alex Epakis hopes his team's slip-up against Western Sydney will give them the kick they need to gatecrash the A-League Women finals.
Glory's four-match winning streak was brought to a halt when they conceded an 80th-minute penalty in last week's 1-1 draw with the struggling Wanderers.
The result left Glory - who have played a game fewer - four points adrift of fourth-placed Melbourne Victory with five fixtures remaining.
