49′ That right there sums up Perth’s afternoon.
Two players – Garcia and Castro run into the same space and leave Risdon with no options.
Nix give away a free kick though so the Glory can still capitalise.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
That’s a really interesting stat. Not surprised that the attendance by participants is so low. More to be done.
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
47′ Glory with the first chance of the second half.
Oxborrow with another corner. Too close to the keeper with that one and somehow the referee finds a foul so the Nix are let off.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
46′ Back underway at NIB.
Glory will be hoping for a bit more structure in this second half.
Glory 1 1 Nix

Well that’s halftime from Perth.
Nix are having a field day in terms of possession and position. McGlinchey, Bonevacia and co pulling the Glory midfield apart at will.
The team from Wellington certainly with the better of chances during the first half but the Glory hang on and they go to the break at 1 all.
Glory 1 1 Nix

45′ There will be one minute of added time to finish this first half.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
42′ Bonevacia with a chance but he drags it wide.
Riera had hit the free kick into the path of Krishna, who in turn flicked it towards Sapong and then a running Bonevacia made good connection but couldn’t direct the shot.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
40′ Another delivery for Oxborrow, and he seems to have found his range. Only a diving header from Sigmund can keep that off the boot of Djulbic.
Oxborrow corner is cleared by Fenton.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
39′ It’s like watching a game of gridiron with so many stoppages. Both teams guilty of niggling little fouls.
For as comfortable as the Nix look, the Glory are a team that can snatch an unlikely goal. Crucial Moss and the back four stay awake.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
38′ Harold shows a clean set of heels to get by Doyle, and he races towards the byline, it’s a great cross but Lia clears over the line.
Glory with their third corner. Djulbic arrives late but he can’t direct his glancing header.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
36′ There seems to be little that resembles a Glory midfield in the first 35 minutes. It’s making the going really easy for McGlinchey and Bonevacia and co.
There’s another ruthless challenge and another Nix free kick. Oxborrow bringing down Bonevacia late.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
35′ Perth enjoying a rare moment in the final third but it amounts to nothing Nix can work themselves clear with a throw-in.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
34′ Another poor challenge by the Glory and another free kick for the Nix.
It’s a long delivery from Lia and Risdon with all the time to clear.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
32′ McGlinchey has given himself a few extra metres but the referee is having none of it and the ball is placed back where the tackle was made.
Chance for the Nix.
McGlnchey delivery is no better than previously and Djulbic gets it clear, only to Lia.
The Nix applying all the pressure but getting no reward so far.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
31′ Bonevacia is rolling around on the six yard box, there’s a wild challenge from Sandor and it’s unclear what’s going on.
SOmeone has earned themselves a yellow card. Might be Josh Risdon.
Nix will have a free kick for the challenge by Sandor.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
30′ Krishna with a chance to make it two, but Covic is equal to it and saves with his feet.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
29′ High foot from Oxborrow on half way. Nix in control again.
Muscat looking long and it’s easily headed clear by Djulbic.
Glory 1 1 Nix

27′ Fernandez gets the games first yellow for a hack from behind and the Nix have another dangerous set piece opportunity.
McGlinchey is over the ball …
… referee sets the wall. McGlinchey delivers a poor set piece. He stuttered which had an impact on the runners.
Glory goal kick.

25′ Thwaite gets a little over excited and gives away a free kick just inside his own half to set up another Nix attack.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
24′ Perth with another corner.
They enjoyed some steady build-up play and will be hoping for the same result as their first corner.
Oxborrow delivers …
… referee deals with the handbags at nine paces …
… and it’s cleared off the line by Sarpong. A great chance for the Glory goes begging.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
22′ Perth looking like they’d rather be at Cottlesoe Beach with a few cold ones. Very limited support for the player with the ball.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
19′ Bonevacia spins away and leads another Nix charge.
Plays in Fenton who gets a ball over and there’s enough Glory pressure to see it out for a goal kick.

Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
18′ Nix just taking the mickey.
Glory 1 1 Nix

16′ Bonevacia’s free kick is blasted into the wall but he is able to deliver a pearl that lands straight onto McGlinchey’s head but he steers it wide from point blank range.
Glory chasing shadows.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
50′ Nix defended the free kick well and it’s over the bar by Golec. Moss restarts the play with a goal kick.
