It finally happened. It looked likely for a few weeks as Wellington Phoenix rapidly developed from a team holding on to a team expecting to win. After narrow, heartbreaking losses against Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory, they have achieved their first win in the A-League Women’s with a 3-0 defeat of Canberra United. Almost 1,000 spectators were on hand to see the historic occasion. Although most would not have been happy about it. Viking Park in Canberra holds a loyal group of supporters and they still have not seen their side win this season. They were not outplayed by Wellington over 90 minutes, but the young Phoenix side was more clinical and creative when it counted.

Impetus’ Ben Gilby heard from the proud Phoenix coach after the game. “I think you could see from the reaction from the girls at the final whistle it means a lot. “There’s a couple of tears even and it seems silly, it’s just one game in a league (and) we’re still bottom of the table. “But the sacrifices that these girls have made and they’re doing it tough and they’re struggling.”

Lewis went on: “Some of them are on countdown until when they’ll be able to get home and they’re still trying to put in a performance day in day out…so it really means a lot then when they get this reinforcement of why they’re doing it and feeling like they’re making progress.”

With Phoenix’s habit of letting winning positions slip in recent weeks along with Canberra twice coming back from the dead at the end of matches this season, Lewis was never quite sure the win was secure.  “We were like 85 minutes and I still thought we were going to lose it maybe…especially watching Canberra at 80 minutes they come alive and start putting away goals so I still wasn’t comfortable. The difference in this game was we took our chances, which we haven’t in previous games, and also we were disciplined at the back.”
