90+3′ Appiah drives forward but he doesn’t get his head up and a chance to seal it goes begging.
Glory 1 2 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
90+1′ into the first of four added minutes. Castro earns himself a yellow for kicking the ball away. Not what the Glory need at all.
Glory 1 2 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
Don’t think Golec will be a popular player at training this week.
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
No less than what Wellington deserve and now they look certain to record the first three points of the season 11 campaign.
Glory 1 2 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
88′ Golec with another mistake, giving it away in yet another dangerous position which results in a Wellington corner.
He’s been a bit behind all afternoon the former Wanderer.
McGlinchey delivers the corner and Vince Lia is on the end of it to steer it past Ante Covic.
Glory 1 2 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
87′ Drama as Risdon goes down in the box, but the referee is non-plussed and points to the corner for Perth.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
85′ Nix with a free kick it’s off the post and Sigmund taps home but the Nix captain is offside. Glory with a good line in that instance.
Final change for Wellington. Appiah comes on.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
84′ Golec with a terrible pass which results in a horrendous challenge by Garcia and the Glory captain gets his second yellow and is sent off.
Six minutes with 10 men. Can the men in Purple hold on? They’ve been the second best team all night.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
82′ Glory looking to make another change. Gligor being briefed by Lowe as Thwaite gets some blood cleared up.
Harold is the man to make way for the former Sydney FC player Hagi Gligor.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
81′ Harold tries his luck but his shot is hit high and does not trouble Moss in the Nix goal.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
80′ For all the action in the first 20 minutes, this game has certainly died a slow death.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
76′ Moss with a great save that included cleaning up Lia in the process.
Second change for the Nix.
Krishna replaced by Rodriguez.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
71′ The difference between these two sides today has been the midfield.
Glory are playing without one and the Phoenix are being steered around the park by McGlinchey and Bonevacia with Lia doing a stellar job anchoring the diamond.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
70′ Free kick for the Glory. Oxborrow delivers …
Moss the only one attacking the ball and the Nix are away.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
67′ Djulibic with a crucial tackle to stop Krishna in his tracks.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
65′ Time for Lowe to go to his bench.
Sciola offers much more than Fernandez.
Indeed, it is Fernandez replaced by Sciola.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
63′ Corner for the Nix.
Bonevacia delivers deep and Golec can see that over the byline and the Glory can restart with a goal kick.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
61′ Bonevacia strong on the ball, holding off challenges and playing to back to sIgmund to restart the Nix attack.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
59′ Wellington enjoyed a phase of around 25 passes before the Glory could break them down.
Change for the Nix.
Sapong replaced by Powell.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
57′ Good defending by Perth, turns Sapong and he has to go backwards.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
56′ Every Perth fan blows up as Castro appears to have been fouled by Muscat but the referee isn’t fooled by his theatrics.
Wellington again building inside the Glory half.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
54′ Nix starting to work their way into the half. Some good interchange between Bonevacia and McGlinchey before a ball came into the box and Krishna nearly did enough to wrong foot Covic.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
52′ I’m not sure Fernandez really wants to be out there. He stood by and watched the ball bounce around in the 18 yard box there before the Nix were able to break and nearly score at the other end.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
51′ And again. Castro with the wrong option and a promising attack breaks down.
Too reliant on the pace of Harold and Risdon.
Glory 1 1 Nix
Perth vs Wellington: Phoenix find their first win of the season
And the fat lady is singing in the rain in Perth.
The Nix deserved winners at NIB Stadium as Perth were left chasing shadows most of the afternoon.
For the Glory, they finish with 10 men after Garcia cops his second yellow card trying to recover an ill-weighted pass from Golec.
Wellington, well too often Bonevacia and McGlinchey were given too much space and time to dictate play and that was the difference at the end of the day.
Final score
Perth 1
Wellington 2
