The Jets found the first goal of the game when a short corner was played to Lachlan Bayliss, who cut inside to curl his shot past Perth goalkeeper Matt Sutton in the 14th minute.
The Jets had a glorious chance to double the lead on the stroke of half-time, however, Will Dobson’s goal-bound shot was deflected away for a corner.
