Four minutes of overtime, and I am barely breathing as we watch Sydney continue to pin the Nix in their own half.

Sail has played bloody well to keep a clean sheet through this last 60 mins. Hopefully he can continue to hold on for this next bit

#WELvSYD #COYN

Bloody good first half from the Nix all up, a few opportunities that would have been great to capitalise on but 2-0 at the half is a great effort.

And to come into the second half continuing to press, instead of playing defensive footy (which we’re not great at), gives me genuine hope.

#WELvNEW #COYN

The Nix are giving us a marvellous lesson in how to butcher a scoring opportunity. So many different ways. #coyn #ALeague #WellingtonPhoenix

WHERE HAS THIS PHOENIX SIDE BEEN FOR THE LAST 25 MINUTES DAMNIT

#COYN

Have made a migration to the lounge with my oodie and a bucket to watch the Nix taking on Melbourne.

Missed our goal while I was hunting down a container.
Caught a wonderful save from Ollie Sail, and a messy goal from Melbourne.

It’s gunna be a pretty good match, especially if the Nix pick back up and play like the first 25 mins for the second half

#COYN #MVCvsWEL

5-0!!! Wow!!! #COYN

Wow 3-0!! Keep this going ladies! #COYN

@isaacfreeman I searched for the hashtag #COYN and found a couple of people that way. Must remember to use it myself. #Football is too big, too vague. I'll try #ALeague and #WgtnPhoenix too, in future.

Nice!! Two wins in a row!! Olli Sail was brilliant!! #COYN

Stressful..... #COYN

@Bluenose #COYN We really need a second one so I can relax a bit.

And there’s the final whistle
Holy shit snacks, I don’t think I’ve yelled that loud at a footy match in a few years.

A well deserved 1-nil pipping by The Nix over Sydney FC.
Their first win over Sydney at Sydney in 7 years, and what a fucking tale to go with it.

Stoked to see Oli Sail pick up a clean sheet as well, that’s a great bonus that is hopefully a sign of things to come.

Fuck me
Fuuuuuuuuck me

A handball has been given in the 18 yard, which is a penalty.
From all angles it looks like the Sydney attacker headed it into the back of the Nix player.

But. The penalty has been upheld.

Sail playing out of his fucking skin with a couple of swift saves, before taking a gentle lob and hiffing it down field.

Sydney currently playing 9 up front, with a sweeper holding high on the half, and the keeper holding his 18 yard box.

I haven’t seen an A-League game like this that I can remember, if ever

#WellingtonPhoenix #SydneyFC #COYN #SYDvsWEL #ALeague

Watching the Nix pick up their second red card in a little over 15 minutes, taking them down to 9 players against Sydney’s 11.

Watch as the Nix play a 9 man defensive play to hold onto their 1-nil lead as we rumble into overtime.

8 minutes of overtime.
Fuuuuuucking hell

@Bluenose I haven't found too many of my footy people on here but hopefully that will change.
