- 40' Both keepers have barely been tested. Wellington Phoenix FC and Brisbane Roar FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 45' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 75' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 80' Matti Steinmann has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 85' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Stefan Mauk makes it 2-1.
