Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano has drawn a line through his side's A-League Men finals chances after their 4-1 loss to Western United, saying they're playing to restore some level of pride in their remaining seven games.
Falling behind after just 128 seconds when Rhys Bozinovski redirected an Angus Thurgate corner off his shoulder, the Phoenix were down 4-0 by the time they registered their first shot on target in Saturday evening's contest.
