At Wellington, New Zealand:
Tim Brown (47'), Ben Sigmund (79'), and Paul Ifill (PK-86') each delivered a goal as the Wellington Phoenix held off visiting Sydney FC 3-2 on Friday in the opening match of what is called the Hyundai A-League Finals, which I prefer to call the playoffs. The Sky Blues' season came to an end despite a double from Joel Chianese (80', 83') as the visitors mounted a furious comeback attempt and actually deadlocked the match before Paul Ifill's spot kick delivered the Phoenix into the second round and an encounter set for next weekend with the winner of the Perth Glory-Melbourne Heart contest (which takes place this coming Sunday).
