The Wellington Phoenix have earned a point in their debut A-League Women's game.
Tipped for the wooden spoon after hastily assembling a squad within three months of the season opener, a Phoenix team with six teenagers in their starting XI snagged a 0-0 draw
with the Western Sydney Wanderers.
Pressing high up the pitch and proving that fitness was definitely a priority during preseason training, the Phoenix showed plenty of hustle, getting stuck into challenges.
There was, perhaps understandably, less to admire on the attacking front in their debut, and after a promising first half for the newbies, the Wanderers started to pile on the pressure in the second.
