Wellington Phoenix 2-2 Sydney FC
It seemed to be business as usual as Adam Le Fondre gave the Hyundai A-League leaders an early lead at Westpac Stadium, but the match had flipped by half-time.
Goals from Rene Piscopo and Ulises Davila tipped the Nix ahead but Sydney’s talisman Milos Ninkovic saved the day from the bench, as Steven Taylor’s own goal tied it up.
