Outstanding performance
Wellington Phoenix•AttackerWellington Phoenix surrendered a commanding two-goal lead in spectacular fashion, allowing Melbourne City to snatch a dramatic 2-2 draw through two quick-fire goals in the final quarter. Eze Kelvin looked to have secured all three points for the Phoenix with a clinical first-half opener and an early second-half strike, but City's triple substitution on 54 minutes proved the catalyst for a remarkable turnaround. Marcus Younis pulled one back within 19 minutes of his introduction, before Medin Memeti completed the comeback just four minutes later, leaving Phoenix to rue a missed opportunity to climb the A-League Men table.
