Marquee man Dario Vidosic marked his first start for the club with the decisive goal just before half-time, to ease the pressure at Wanderland.
Glory struggled to create anything going forward and will need to improve for next week’s Westfield FFA Cup final.
The crucial victory for Wanderers – on the anniversary of the club’s AFC Champions League success from last year – moves them off the bottom of the ladder and above Glory.
GOALS
1-0 Vidosic (45’) - A Wanderers corner wasn’t adequately cleared by the visitors, with the ball eventually ending up at the feet of Vidosic at the top of the box. The marquee man skipped past one defender before arrowing a shot into the bottom corner.
