“When you get a penalty in a game you’d like to think that you’re at least going to go a goal ahead and make the opposition come at you.”
Perth Glory was largely in control during the first half up until the penalty, but could not find a goal despite its attacking efforts.
An early Glory header from striker Michael Domfeh was on target in the 13th minute, but was disallowed for offside.
The visitors had the chance to take the lead when Walter Scott caught Dylan White in the area and the referee pointed to the spot.
However, goalkeeper Jackson Lee was up to the task, making a superb save to his right.
Armadale started the second half much better than the first and almost took the lead after scrappy piece of defending gave Armadale’s Quinncroft a sight of goal but he shot wide.
It was as close as either side came to breaking the deadlock and they were forced to settle for a share of the points.
