The Newcastle Jets have given themselves a chance of snatching the last finals spot in Australia's A-League with a 2-0 win over Adelaide United at Hunter Stadium.
The Jets are now level on 36 competition points with sixth-placed Sydney FC, and now face an excruciating wait until Sunday when they need the Sky Blues to lose by a margin of two goals against Perth Glory to grab the sixth and final playoff berth.
The Wellington Phoenix are two points off the bottom-placed Melbourne Heart heading into their final games this season. The Phoenix face the Melbourne Victory at home in Wellington on Saturday evening, while the Heart host second-placed Western Sydney.
