That's what Filip Kurto did as Macarthur FC conquered Wellington Phoenix 2-1 to give Mile Sterjovski his first Isuzu UTE A-League win in charge of the Bulls ...

Macarthur are back on level terms but Phoenix captain Oli Sail will not want to see that moment again. This time it's Yan Sasse who steps up for Wellington but it's the same result as Kurto produces another massive stop. Share on twitter Share on facebook Mile Sterjovski has his first win in charge of Macarthur, who overcome an early deficit and two penalties. This is a modal window.

Bulls goalkeeper Filip Kurto haunted his former team, first denying Oskar Zawada, then Yan Sasse as the Phoenix's spot-kick woes continued.

Four of their five losses have come against teams below them and they have now failed to win for three weekends in a row. The sight of him stepping up to succeed Zawada as the penalty taker was an auspicious one and so it proved. He did fail to convert when he took one earlier this season, but that was weeks ago and surely isn’t haunting him. Three minutes later he went to his right to palm away the attempt of Yan Sasse. Somewhat ominously, it’s 11th-placed Western United up next, in Tasmania on Friday night. The first Phoenix penalty was won when Daniel Arzani shouldered David Ball in the head and sent him tumbling to the ground.

“I’m pleased with the turnaround from last week’s result,” Sterjovski said. “Filip’s two saves lifted the boys and I thought we were a different team in the second half and we were unlucky not to get a third goal. Kurto had work to do in both instances and the Bulls played with belief after the Polish goalkeeper had twice denied the Phoenix from the spot in quick succession.
