    Auckland FC coach Steve Corica's reminding the Phoenix of the expectation from their home fans ahead of the first all-Kiwi match-up in football's A-League

    Auckland FC coach Steve Corica's reminding the Phoenix of the expectation from their home fans ahead of the first all-Kiwi match-up in football's A-League


    This afternoon's match in the capital comes after the two sides finished round two of the competition at the top of the standings.

    Corica says his players have taken a ton of confidence from starting with two wins - both on home soil in Auckland.



    Wellington Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano refutes Corica's claim.



    Kickoff's at 5pm.
