Wellington Phoenix edged past Melbourne Victory 1-0 away from home. The game was level at 0-0 at the break, so the decisive goals came after it.

Our pre-match lean was Melbourne Victory at 52%, but a lead that slim is closer to a coin-flip than a call — and it fell the other way. The goals read — over 2.5 goals (59%), both teams to score (57%) — went the other way, though.

On the day, Melbourne Victory had 49% of the ball to Wellington Phoenix's 51%, shots finished 10-14, expected goals 0.33 to 1.89 — an xG gap that size says the one-goal margin undersold Wellington Phoenix's control.
