An 89th-minute strike from Nicolas Milanovic salvaged a 2-2 draw for Western Sydney Wanderers against Wellington Phoenix at Sky Stadium, denying the Nix their first home win of 2025.
Wellington took the lead twice through goals from Corban Piper and Chico Geraldes, but equalisers from former fan favourite Bozhidar Kraev and Milanovic dashed their hopes. Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano expressed frustration post-match, praising his makeshift backline while lamenting missed opportunities to seal the win.
Despite their spirited performance and strong second half, the Phoenix couldn’t hold off the relentless Wanderers’ attack in the dying moments.
