A tough evening for the Wellington Phoenix, who simply couldn't find a way to get firing on all cylinders. They were clunky throughout, and really lacked punch at the attacking end, particuarly when chasing the scoreboard in the final half hour. Again they pressed high up the pitch and attempted to take the game to their opponents. It did well to draw mistakes in stages, but too often there was a breakdown between the service and the target into the penalty box, and Olivia Fergusson struggled to get going up front. Wall and Elliott lacked quality down the flanks either, and Longo was left rather quiet through the middle of the park. Ultimately they'll be made to rue the two chances they missed just before the half-time break, and Paul Temple will be wondering what could have been had they scored at that stage of the match.
