Wellington Phoenix

Wellington Phoenix's grip on an A-League home final berth has loosened after Melbourne Victory celebrated their last home game of a poor season with an emphatic 3-0 win.

It wasn't the prettiest of performances but the Wellington Phoenix banked another valuable three points with a 2-0 win over Gold Coast United in Wellington today.

The Wellington Phoenix's game against the Gold Coast will go ahead tomorrow after the Supreme Court in Australia threw out a bid by Clive Palmer to maintain control of the Queensland club.

Wellington left Sydney FC's A-League finals hopes hanging by a thread with a "hit and run" 1-0 upset at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday.

Brazilian winger Daniel last month became one of three Wellington Phoenix players to make 100 appearances, but he may not make it far past that mark.

The Wellington Phoenix's win streak came to an crashing halt against the worst possible opposition today, as a clinical Brisbane Roar won 2-0 at Westpac Stadium.

Paul Ifill inspired the Phoenix to a club-record fourth straight win last night, turning on the style to help edge Adelaide and consolidate second spot in the A-League.
