Wellington Phoenix Target Unbeaten Start Against Auckland FC
The Wellington Phoenix are determined to break their New Zealand derby drought this weekend when Auckland FC arrives in town. Last season, the Phoenix lost all three derby matches, including a 6–1 defeat at Mt Smart that left a lasting mark.
Defender Lukas Kelly-Heald shared his thoughts on the upcoming clash and the team’s mindset heading into the new season.
“We’re really looking forward to an unbeaten start to the season,” said Kelly-Heald.
The Phoenix see this match as a chance for redemption and a strong opening statement in their campaign.
