A well-taken header provided teenage substitute Jynaya Dos Santos with her first-ever A-League goal and a win for Sydney FC against Wellington Phoenix at Allianz Stadium.
Dos Santos turned a cross from Taylor Ray past Phoenix ‘keeper Brianna Edwards in the 78th minute.
It proved to be the decider in an end-to-end game that produced 33 shots, of which 21 were from the home side, though Phoenix had the most on target.
