Ivan Franjic concedes a free kick for tripping Daniel.
Wellington will need a miracle in order to gain any kind of result from this match..

A shot from Broich hits the top of the cross bar and back into play, cleared by the Wellington defense.

’84
THEOKLITOS! Again denies Wellington, Ifill on the ball just outside the box, only the shot-stopper to beat but again Theoklitos is in the way.. Ifill should have done better there.

GOAAAAAL! MITCH NICHOLS THE SUBSTITUTE!
A fantastic strike by the under-23 international who replaced Fiztgerald. A crisp strike, Brisbane didn’t account for his services today but will be very glad with that strike!
Brisbane 2 – Wellington 0

Perfectly measured pass to Murdocca in the area, his pass across goal is dangerous, but no one is home for Brisbane. Great play by Brisbane!

Play has stopped momentarily as Ben Sigmund recieves treatment on what looks to be a hamstring injury. Ricki Herbert has signalled for a substitution and it’s Pavlovic who will replace him.

OOOOH SO CLOSE! Wellington pressing again, Sanchez crosses the ball in looking for Tim Brown, Theoklitos came out looking to punch the ball clear, he missed and the ball was almost turned into their own net by a Brisbane defender..
Crowd today: 13,009

Sigmund sliding in hard draws a foul on Adnan.
Adnan will take the free kick. He fires the ball into the Wellington wall but Brisbane will get another chance following a clumspy challenge from Greenacre who sees YELLOW. The following free kick evades the wall but not Paston.

SUBSTITUTION for BRISBANE.. Henrique is replaced by James Meyer.
Brisbane 1 – Wellington 0

Matthew Smith shown a YELLOW CARD for a two-footed sliding tackle on Sanchez, he can count himself a little lucky there..

Lochhead with time on the ball down the flank, his cross finds the head of Lia who makes good connection but again Theoklitos is in the way.

’63
Thomas Broich pushed and fouled by Lia who catches the eye of referee Jarred Gillett. He’ll need to be careful Lia having already been shown a yellow.

Shot by Henrique is wide for Brisbane!
SUBSTITUTION for WELLINGTON.. Bertos makes way for Daniel.
Wellington Phoenix vs Brisbane Roar: A-League live scores, blog
’61
Bertos goes toe-to-toe with Adnan down the flank for Wellington, his cross is direct and forces Theoklitos to dive and push the ball away.
His intent was the cross the ball, but fortunately for Brisbane, Theoklitos was again able to make the save.

Shot by Ifill is struck firm but wide… Wellington have lifted in the last ten minutes, the crowd can be heard again for the first time in an hour.

’58
Greenacre looks to lob Theoklitos who is off his line, but the ball sails over the top.. You think if Wellington will score it will come through a piece of a play similar to that, improvising in front of goal.

’55
Promising play on the ball for Wellington, Ifill FOULED on the edge of the area.. Wellington fans want a card but nothing given.
Very dangerous position here for Wellington but Sanchez squanders the shot on goal.
Objective commentary must not exist in New Zealand!?

Stefanutto show a YELLOW CARD by the referee.. Not to sure what happened there, I’ve got a feeling it’s for jostling with Paul Ifill during that last play.
Wellington Phoenix vs Brisbane Roar: A-League live scores, blog
’49
Ifill through on goal, only Theoklitos to beat… GREAT SAVE!!
Diving away to his right, he predictable the path of the ball nicely there… Ifill looked to be offside, play carried on and Wellington came all so close to grabbing an equaliser.
Great play by Theoklitos !

Berisha right in the thick of it again, this time he fouls Dani Sanchez. No signs of the frustrated Berisha just yet… The Roar fans will hope he keeps that alter-ego in check.
Wellington Phoenix vs Brisbane Roar: A-League live scores, blog
Agree Mishca, they certiantly don’t look to keep their bias incheck.

’46
Half time here at Westpac stadium and the distinct lack of noise will telll you that Wellington are behind in this one. Besart Berisha’s strike seperates the two sides and Brisbane will feel very confident heading into the second half.
For Wellington, they showed auspicious signs early on but it wasn’t long before Brisbane wrestled back the ascendancy and in turn, the lead. Ifill has been forced up the ground and therefore when the Phoenix look to counter, nothing has come about from a forward press.
Brisbane throughly deserve the lead and you I can forbode a tough second half for the Phoenix.
Second half just moments away

’45
The referee’s assistant signals just the one minute of added time.
Wellington Phoenix vs Brisbane Roar: A-League live scores, blog
’44
9-2 is the foul count in favor of Wellington, Ricki Herbert will no doubt draw attention to the lack of discipline.
A smile on the face of Berisha tells the story for Brisbane. They have enjoyed all the possession and are being aided by a discouraged Wellington side.
