Wellington Phoenix have secured the three points in a five goal thriller over Brisbane Roar at Westpac Stadium
A bright opening period saw both sides create chances but neither was able to take an early advantage. It was the visitors who took the lead on the 25 minute mark through Dimitri Petratos.
Michael McGlinchey was on hand to restore parity with a stunning free kick in the 34th minute. The lively tempo was maintained for the rest of the half but the one all score line remained.
The Phoenix then took the lead after quick counter attack saw some nice interplay between Krishna and Jeffrey Sarpong with the Fijian slotting home his second for the season not long after the restart.
Roar were able to equalise after some questionable defending in the box from Wellington with Jade North striking the ball on the volley and Glen Moss fumbling his attempted save.
Both sides continued to play exciting, attacking football when Phoenix substitute Blake Powell was able to tap in at the far post to claim the win.
Here are the best reactions from Twitter following the match.

You'd think the Phoenix have just scored the goal to send them to the Champions League final. #KiwiCommentators #WELvBRI #ALeague

Apparently a 'super goal' in New Zealand consists of a tap in from 3 yards #kiwicommentators #WELvBRI

Clinical from Wellington. Krishna punishes a poor header from Jade North #WELvBRI
