Wellington Phoenix

Filip Kurto – 7
Excellent stop from Barbarouses to preserve the two-goal lead late in the first half. Couldn’t do much about any of the goals.

Louis Fenton – 7.5
Precise low cross to tee up Williams for the equaliser. Absolutely torched Victory down the right flank with his pace and energy. Replaced late in the game for some fresher legs.

Steven Taylor – 6.5
Physical treatment of Toivonen seemed to get in the Swede’s head in the first half. Not entirely on the same page as his teammates when Troisi scored – he seemed to be holding a completely different line.

Andrew Durante – 7
Typically tenatious and responsible display from the captain, as his side were under tremendous pressure in the second half. The outstanding member of the back three in a game where there was wasn’t too much defending to speak of.

Tom Doyle – 6
Caught out repeatedly by the runs of Barbarouses in particular. A late foul after he was turned by Athiu seemed to sum up his day, as most of the Victory inroads came down his side, and he frequently overcommitted himself.
