Adelaide United made their second trip to Wellington this season on Saturday night looking to bounce back after a hammering at the hands of Melbourne City last week. The Phoenix would need some stopping, hot in form after winning two of their last three coming into the Round 18 clash.
Nathan Konstandopoulos – 6
Strong midfield work, used his body well to shield the ball, and move it into dangerous positions for the attackers.
Daniel Adlung – 7
Stepped up to play the Isaias role effectively. Matched everything well, with some strong defensive work and classing passing.
Jordan O’Doherty – 6.5
Attracted some heavy tackles from Phoenix players with some exceptional fast feet. Good distribution and positive play.
Ryan Kitto - 5
Showed his eagerness to make an impact by making many positive runs in behind the Wellington defensive line.
The goal that has Adelaide United 1-0 up in Wellington. #WELvADL

George Blackwood - 7
Showed his desperation to find the net and did just that. Used what pace he has and a big frame to send United up 1-0.
Nikola Mileusnic - 6
Used his pace to cause havoc in behind the Phoenix defence but could rarely find a teammate with space.
