Wellington Phoenix stand-in coach Giancarlo Italiano has hailed goalkeeper Oliver Sail's man-of-the-match performance after his side recorded a 3-0 win over Brisbane Roar at Moreton Daily Stadium.

Sail refused to be beaten in the Phoenix's first clean sheet in five attempts, standing firm as Roar directed 36 shots - 11 of them on target - at his goal on Wednesday night.

Two of his saves, against Louis Zabala's gilt-edged chance in the 48th minute and Henry Hore's attempt in the 57th, allowed his side to immediately spring forward in transition before leading 2-0 through Ben Waine, and then 3-0 via Ben Old's first-ever ALM goal.

They added to a lead sourced from Scott Neville's 28th-minute own goal.

"The save at 1-0 that led to the second goal was the most crucial part of the game," Italiano said.

"It was a big save and then (Sail) really grew into the game.

"(Sail) was exceptional today.

Italiano was filling in while regular coach Ufuk Talay completed a COVID isolation period, which will end on Friday.

Despite the goals to come, controversy dogged Phoenix's first, which was forced to undergo a lengthy VAR review before being ticked off by the officials.

Neville was furious a push from Waine as he sought to clear wasn't called, claiming referee Shaun Evans had told him it was a foul but was deferring it to the VAR.

"We're off the ground and (he) pushes (me) in the back," Neville told Paramount.

"The referee even said it's a foul but we'll let the VAR deal with it."
