Paul Ifill's team delivered another solid performance and switched into 'cup mode'.

Playing at home and trying to confirm not only their status as favorites but also their lead in the championship, the Wellington team had some difficulties in beating Western Suburbs.

To understand this game, which was for the lead, it's important to highlight the overwhelming favoritism of the Wellington team, with key players like Basalaj, Gulley, and Sinclair.

After a slow first half, the teams picked up the pace in the second half, and pressured to maintain their lead and win, Bouzoukis scored the winning goal in the 65th minute.

Wellington's team, with their three-time Chatham Cup champion coach, seems to have entered 'cup mode' and will fight for the championship title, while Western Suburbs will have to improve significantly to climb the table.
