There's chances in this for the Nix if they stay composed on the ball. Sheridan blocked shot a good example. Lost that composure after the goal. Credit to Auckland once again defensively; super compact and they just make every pass difficult.

Verstraete subbed off. Huge blow for Auckland. Losing their best ball-winner in a game like this is monumental.
