It might be ninth up against tenth when Wellington Phoenix host Perth Glory this afternoon but with the A-League’s top six within touching distance there will still be plenty to play for. We’ll have live scores and commentary from 3.00pm AEDT.
Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert might have been right when he said his team threw two points away against Newcastle last Sunday.
Against a Jets side with a horrid record across the Tasman, the Phoenix were able to turn the contest into a dour, physically demanding contest and with a one-goal and one-man advantage they should have closed the game out.
While the draw earned the Phoenix their first point in five matches, the mini-capitulation was indicative of a side who had forgotten how to win.
They might only trail the sixth-placed Jets by five points but with only nine matches to play the Phoenix’s finals ambitions are looking increasingly forlorn.
But if ever there is an occasion to turn things around it is this afternoon.
Ian Ferguson’s Perth side have performed horribly after starting the season as one of the title favourites, but they too come into this one in a tailspin, having lost three consecutive matches.
They boast the worst attacking record in the A-League with 18 goals from 18 matches and things won’t get any easier this afternoon with Shane Smeltz not named to travel with the team due to a hip injury.
Let’s be realistic – neither of these sides are going to be compared to Barcelona any time soon.
But that’s not to say we won’t see a gripping contest between two sides desperate for a result to spark their season.
The first match of an appetising A-League Saturday triple-header, which concludes with the Melbourne derby this evening, begins at 3.00pm AEDT.

Gruelling … probably closer to soul crushing. Effectively we have had one good stretch in eight years, with some luck in a preliminary and a scrape through in the semi.
That is across eight years, with the rest a mix of misery, muddled thinking, poor play, misfortune, corporate malfeasance, backbiting of supporters and just general rot. Club needs to get swept out from top to bottom. Actually, with players like Mehmet and vd Brink going, I wonder if there isn’t some preparation for moving the club on to new owners who want a clean deck.

FULL TIME: Wellington Phoenix 1-0 Perth Glory
Wellington are off the bottom of the ladder! They’ve beaten Perth and will leapfrog the Glory onto 20 points, while the Glory are handed their fifth loss and six matches. It was never going to be a classic with 9th up against 10th but Wellington in particular were looking to create chances by passing around on the smooth Eden Park surface, and it resulted in Brockie breaking the deadlock on 41 minutes.
So Perth continue to see their finals hopes dissipate while for Wellington, it’s back on. Two other teams involved in the scrap face off next when Newcastle host Sydney before we are treated to the game of the round, the third Melbourne derby of the regular season.
That’s it for today. Enjoy the rest of what looks to be another engaging round of A-League football.

Interesting scenes here! Perth continue to camp in the Wellington half with a free kick, and Vukovic is still up. Finally the Phoenix get control of the ball, and Cernak shoots from on the right about 40 out, but the trickling ball is turned across the face of goal and to safety.

At least in the first half, it has mainly been trying to get in and behind the Phoenix defence through, largely through Harold and Dodd.

If we had some kind of resemblance of a midfield maybe we could use the pace of Harold and Dodd,instead we are seeing them drop back to help out in the midfield scrap.

Nick Ward… Hopefully a one-year contract. Have seen too many over hit shots and general midfield blargh from him in the times he has been on.
As for the rest of the lineup, these are players Fergie should have been using from day dot, and by now it would be formidable. Rather than still gelling.

Perth clear, but only as far as half way. If Ian Ferguson gave his side a spray at half-time – and it isn’t unreasonable to think that he would have – it isn’t doing much of a job. It is the home side who look to have come out of the sheds with the energy.

HALF TIME: Wellington Phoenix 1-0 Perth Glory
That’s half time. Perth started the better and it isn’t that surprising, given the Phoenix are notoriously slow starters. But Wellington were the side who chose to play the more daring football and after creating a string of half chances they were rewarded as half-time approached, and it was no surprise to see dangerman Paul Ifill pulling the strings. If the second half plays out like the first it should be a home win – but do Wellngton remember how to close out a narrow lead?

After a foul just inside the Wellington half, Perth knock in a deep cross from the left that looks like it could be a threat, but Mark Paston is out confidently to catch over his head.

They’ve tried it once or twice before, but Ifill is able to successfully pick out Jeremy Brockie in the air from the right hand side, and Brockie glances his header across Vukovic into the right hand corner of the net!

Wellington have, at least through the middle of the park, looked to take advantage of the conditions and try and pass through and around the Glory defence. The same cannot be said for Perth, who continue to try and find long, diagonal balls over the Wellington defence. But it is testing the Nix back four, so it won’t be a surprise to see the continue the tactic.

Looked like a decent chance here as Perth whip in a long free kick toward the penalty spot that gets headed on from the far post, and Paston has to turn the bouncing ball over the crossbar. Offside though, so Perth can forget trying their luck from another set piece in the form of a corner.

Bertos is bursting down the right, stops and crosses a deep ball toward Huysegems, the second ball falls to Ifill, who picks the ball up, turns near the byline and whips in a ball to find Huysegems again from the left hand side.

Phoenix with the best chance of the game. Ball played into the 18 by Ifill into the feet of Bertos before Ifill picks up the return pass and from 15 yards blazes a shot wide and high of the near post! Had more time than he thought there, but still a very nice move from the yellow and black.

Somewhat difficult to say with the pitch being a fair way from the stands but in the shots they have showed it looks fairly sparse along the ends and upper tiers, but maybe decent coverage along the lower sidelines. Eden Park holds 50,000 so maybe a third-full (maybe?) crowd is better than what it looks.
