Perth Glory`s 2-0 win over Wellington Phoenix highlights Taggart`s performance as A-League finals approach.

Perth Glory ended their Isuzu UTE A-League regular season on a high note, defeating Wellington Phoenix 2-0 at Sky Stadium. Socceroos striker Adam Taggart was the star of the match, scoring both goals that propelled Perth to a surprising victory, despite finishing at the bottom of the table. This defeat leaves Wellington in 11th place, setting them up for an upcoming Australia Cup playoff against Brisbane Roar.

Wellington coach Giancarlo Italiano expressed his disappointment, citing poor defending as a persistent issue throughout the season. The final standings show Auckland FC leading the league with 53 points, followed closely by Melbourne City with 48 points. Western United and Western Sydney Wanderers also secured spots in the top four, with 47 and 46 points, respectively.

Other notable results from the final round include Melbourne City’s 5-1 thrashing of Western United and a 2-1 loss for Central Coast Mariners against Melbourne City. The current standings have Wellington Phoenix at 24 points, Brisbane Roar at 21 points, and Perth Glory at the bottom with 17 points. As the A-League Men’s competition transitions into the finals series, fixtures are now locked in for the next stage of the tournament.
