Events

Match Events

0' KICK OFF: Wellington Phoenix FC gets underway.
5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wellington Phoenix FC that had 209 games and scored 296 goals.
10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
15' Newcastle United Jets FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
20' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mathew Millar is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Newcastle United Jets FC.
22' GOAL! David Ball fires home to make it 0-1!
27' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 27 minutes.
32' Newcastle United Jets FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Wellington Phoenix FC backline.
36' The referee calls foul for Joshua Laws. He receives a Yellow card.
41' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
46' Joshua Laws makes way for James McGarry at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from Wellington Phoenix FC.
51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alex Rufer, as he is very good at scoring at McDonald Jones Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
52' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mathew Millar.
53' The deadlock is broken! Ben Waine gets on the scoresheet on 53 minutes.
58' Newcastle United Jets FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 58.
60' The Newcastle United Jets FC bench stirs into life. Roy O'Donovan is withdrawn and Apostolos Stamatelopoulos gets his opportunity.
61' The Newcastle United Jets FC bench stirs into life. Mathew Millar is withdrawn and Lucas Mauragis gets his opportunity.
66' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ulises Davila suffering a number of foals already.
67' The referee calls foul for Alex Rufer. He receives a Yellow card.
69' Newcastle United Jets FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ali Abbas is hanging Luka Prso on the field on 69 minute.
70' Newcastle United Jets FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tete Yengi is hanging Valentino Yuel on the field on 70 minute.
75' Poor challenge from Tomer Hemed. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
76' That is a Yellow card for Newcastle United Jets FC. Johnny Koutroumbis will be fuming at that decision.
81' Fresh legs for Wellington Phoenix FC! Matt Ridenton comes on to replace Clayton Lewis.
82' Archie Goodwin has so much to prove this time. He replaces Connor O'Toole on 82 minute.
87' It is a substitution in Wellington Phoenix FC team. Alex Rufer is replaced by Te Atawhai Hudson-Wihongi on 87 minute.
90' A moment of madness from Oliver Sail on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Wellington Phoenix FC will be frustrated.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Wellington Phoenix FC players.
