    Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano is ruing his side's poor start in their 3-2 A-League loss to Adelaide United on the road

    Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano is ruing his side's poor start in their 3-2 A-League loss to Adelaide United on the road


    The Nix fell behind 2-nil after just 12 minutes, before fighting back to draw level at 2-all at halftime.

    Adelaide would score the game-winner in the 89th minute.

    Italiano praised his team's resilience, but says the efforts in the opening stages were a letdown.



    The Nix are 11th in the standings with two games remaining.
