Wellington Phoenix’s Goran Poracki has claimed the Hyundai A-League’s Goal of the Week for Round 6 following his superb strike against Perth on Sunday.
The Croatian netted the Phoenix’s second as his side secured a come-from-behind 5-2 win over Glory at Westpac Stadium.
Pouncing on a poor pass from Scott Neville, Roy Krishna slipped in Paracki with the midfielder slotting expertly from an acute angle to leave Liam Reddy with no chance.
