Wellington surged forward in search of a winner, with Zawada heading straight at Glover once more and substitute Kosta Barbarouses hitting the bar after a tearaway run.

When Glover stumbled as he attempted to clear, the Pole stole the ball from him and had a brief clear sight of goal, only to scuff his effort and allow the goalkeeper to recover.

Wellington Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay wants his team to lift for the final two-thirds of the A-League season 2 January 2023 Wellington Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay wants his team to lift for the final two-thirds of the A-League season

Phoenix coach Ufuk Talay felt his team created enough chances to win two games, not just one. Yet they walked away empty-handed.

“The main thing is we’re creating. It's just a lack of hitting the target at times. “He scored the week before against Perth. “But we weren’t clinical today. If we’re not creating it’s even worse I believe. The good thing is he’s in the right areas, we’ve just got to make sure we put the ball in the back of the net.

The Phoenix had 20 shots on goal in the contest. Striker Oskar Zawada had several but was unable to convert - Talay says he shouldn't be lacking confidence.

Of that quintet, Wisnewski would be the most likely to join Barry, Rolston and Satchell in linking up with the Ferns after the Phoenix match in Perth, followed by van der Meer and Alfeld. Her injury means Barry will be needed by the Phoenix at centre back in Perth, while the group of players readily available for the Ferns this month includes plenty of forwards, so there is less urgency to have Rolston or Satchell on hand. There will be larger roles for some of them to play in the second match against the US at Eden Park in Auckland on the Saturday, though the Phoenix players are set to head to the airport straight after that match, in order to return to Wellington for the A-League Women visit by Canberra United on the Sunday, where their playing time for the Ferns will impact their involvement. “The players themselves don't want to miss out on Phoenix games and they also don't want to miss out on games for the Ferns against the US. The Phoenix players that travel to Perth will spend the following Monday making the return trip to Wellington and while those called up by the Ferns are likely to sit on the bench against the US at Sky Stadium on the Wednesday, their involvement is set to be limited, if they feature at all. Lawrence confirmed to Stuff on Sunday that one of her players wouldn’t make the trip to Perth for the Phoenix match on Sunday, January 15, and would therefore be available to start for the Ferns against the US three days later.
