In their last match they recorded a 0-4 loss against Adelaide United. George Blackwood struck first for Adelaide United in the 7th minute, then Craig Goodwin added another in the 54th minute on a penalty shot In the end, Wellington Phoenix was frustrated by Adelaide United’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Adelaide United ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while newcastle Jets sits at 8th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-2 loss against Macarthur. Beka Mikeltadze scored the first goal for Newcastle Jets in the 35th minute, then Daniel De Silva got the equalizer for Macarthur in the 48th minute on a feed from Craig Noone But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 84th minute on a goal by James Meredith.

Newcastle Jets is fortunate enough to have Beka Mikeltadze in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals. Jaushua Sotirio and Gary Hooper are the top scorers for Wellington Phoenix in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
