When you play away from home in these leagues, it often feels like the chips are stacked against you.
With a bunch of dudes missing on international duty, the Nix went to Canberra to play the Mariners and whaddaya know but they still won.
They did it! By God, they finally did it! The Wellington Phoenix won their first game of the season, smoking the Jets 2-0 at Westpac.
The last twenty were like the seventh level of hell. Time never goes slower than when you’re waiting for the mercy of the final whistle, just begging it doesn’t get any worse.
A 92nd minute winner from Milos Ninkovic doomed the Welly Nix to a third consecutive defeat to start the season. Allow the Wildcard and the Doc to put a bit of sense to what was a pretty tragic defeat.
For the first four minutes of the game, while the Nix were bossing 98% of possession, it looked like this would be a pretty different game to what it ended up being.
A loss is only as bad as the best excuse you can find for it and this loss had a very good excuse.
If the Welly Nix are back in action then The Niche Cache is gonna be watching so to help wave in the 2016-17 season, the Diggity Doc and Wildcard had a good long chat about it all.
Sepp Blatter has popped in to do a Diary Entry, good on him as Fifa faces some tough times.

A hatty for Maclaren while Mooy hit a screamer and Boogaard is now a record holder. Oh the A-League
Ze Phibber loved Bernie Ibini's effort, not so much the Perth Glory who spent a bit too much moola
