In the Australia Cup Final Rounds Playoff at Darwin Football Stadium, Wellington Phoenix edged out Brisbane Roar with a narrow 1-0 victory, thanks to Kosta Barbarouses` decisive goal in the 39th minute. Despite dominating possession and taking 22 shots, Brisbane Roar was unable to find the back of the net, even missing a penalty when Jay O`Shea hit the crossbar. Wellington`s goalkeeper Joshua Oluwayemi delivered a standout performance, making crucial saves to secure the win.
As the competition heats up, Melbourne City’s Steven Ugarkovic is back from injury, and Mathew Leckie is expected to play a more significant role. However, Nathaniel Atkinson`s participation remains uncertain due to a minor calf issue.
