Giancarlo Italiano: Wellington Phoenix Coach after the teams win against Melbourne

The Wellington Phoenix have grabbed a slice of history.  In their 17th season they have banked a top-two regular-season finish for the first time, with a vital 1-0 win over third-placed Melbourne Victory on Friday night.  It happened in the most dramatic circumstances, with the Phoenix scoring in the 96th minute through a header from defender Finn Surman that deflected off Victory counterpart Roderick Miranda and into the net.  The result means Wellington return to the summit of the A-League, ahead of Central Coast Mariners who travel to Western United on Saturday. But most importantly, it gives Wellington a free pass to the second week of the finals, where they will feature in the home-and-away semifinals as they have an unassailable buffer over the Victory.  Adam Cooper caught up with Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano right after fulltime.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
