The Wellington Phoenix ended their four-match losing streak with a resilient 1-1 draw against Sydney FC at Allianz Stadium.
After conceding early to Adrian Segecic, the Phoenix fought back with Kosta Barbarouses netting his 101st A-League goal just before halftime, following a VAR review.
Despite Sydney’s dominance in possession, Wellington’s defense held firm, with goalkeeper Josh Oluwayemi making crucial saves to preserve the draw.
Head coach Giancarlo Italiano praised his team’s grit and hopes the result serves as a turning point ahead of their upcoming home clash against Western Sydney Wanderers after the international break.
