In a dead-rubber fixture to end a dead season for the Wellington Phoenix, they came out on top against a flat Melbourne City to move off the bottom of the A-League ladder.
Luke Brattan – 6.5
Dictate things really well in the first half although for some reason him and Bozanic began to drop deeper and deeper and invite pressure from Wellington in the second half.
Daniel Arzani – 6
Started off with his usual flair and excitement as he bamboozled Cacace for the opening twenty minutes. However, the Kiwi fullback stuck to his task well and began to frustrate young Arzani who ran out of ideas.
Stefan Mauk – 5
Struggled to find space and get on the ball, even in the first half when City were controlling the game. Will need to be better for the finals.
Oliver Bozanic – 6.5
A similar display to Brattan as he kept City ticking going forward in the first half. But also invited Phoenix pressure in the second period and was given the run around by Ljujic at times.
Dario Vidosic – 5.5
Started well by combining with Jamieson and Bozanic down the left hand side, but that was as good as it got. Was well marshalled by Galloway in the second period but he should’ve equalised with a close range header right at the death.

Bruno Fornaroli – 6
A decent performance by the Uruguayan, who opened the scoring with a thunderous curling effort in the 20th minute. His trademark back to goal style of play was well and truly on display ad he caused problems for Fox in particular.
