At Sky Stadium, Wellington: Western United 3 (Jacob Tratt 65’, Aleksander Prijovic 84’, Alessandro Diamanti 90+5’) Wellington Phoenix 2 (Oskar Zawada 22’, Bozhidar Kraev 59’). HT: 0-1.

Phoenix should have doubled their advantage from the spot in the 38th minute only for Barbarouses’ effort to be strongly saved by Jamie Young.

Nonetheless, when Krev laced in a shot that took multiple deflections and gave Young no chance in the 58th, the win looked secure.

But when Tratt pulled one back in the 64th and Aloisi quickly threw his seasoned leaders into the fray in search of a leveller, the contest shifted and Prijovic and Diamanti delivered.
