Melbourne City spoiled Wellington Phoenix’s 500th A-League Men’s game party last night by snatching a 2-2 draw at Sky Stadium.
Up 2-1 with just 13 minutes of regular time to play, Medin Memeti stepped up for the visitors, capitalising on a mistake from All Whites defender Bill Tuiloma to score.
The Nix had a chance at redemption with a stoppage time penalty, but Manjrekar James had his penalty saved by keeper Patrick Beach, meaning the Wellington side reamins ninth on the table, two points adrift of the top six.
Wellington Phoenix 2 (Ifeanyi Eze 23, 52), Melbourne City 2 (Marcus Younis 73, Medin Memeti 77). Halftime: 1-0.
