Wellington Phoenix vs Melbourne Victory

Paul Izzo came up big for Melbourne Victory, whose finals flame is still burning in the Isuzu UTE A-League after upsetting Wellington Phoenix.

But, we say it’s the last chance to keep going and keep believing,” Fornaroli said. Referring to his saves, he added: “It’s like a goal for us as a keeper. If we keep the momentum going, the belief is only going to grow more,” Izzo said We lost the game. “I said in my head, there’s going to be two or three moments where I’ll have to stand up. It was a sublime lob that gave the Phoenix the lead and took his tally for the season to 13 goals, having scored in five consecutive matches – equalling a Wellington record. Oskar Zawada returned to the line-up following the birth of his first child, and he capped his comeback with the opening goal but it was not a happy outing. Football is often about moments and there were two that saw Melbourne Victory’s season flash before their eyes. Despite appeals for offside, he equalised in the 58th minute to take his tally for the season to seven goals. “As a keeper, you know you have a big role to play if you want to give the lads a chance to come back and win the game. Those two moments proved inspirational and provided the platform for Victory to come from behind and upstage the fifth-placed Phoenix 2-1 in the Isuzu UTE A-League. Those moments could also prove to be the catalyst for a a spot in the top six.
