Adelaide United

Adelaide may be sitting third-last, but the Reds are just two wins away from A-League Women leaders Melbourne City. Plus: Canberra's missed opportunity and agony for Chloe Logarzo Berryhill.

Melbourne City picked up four wins over the festive period while Sydney FC are looking to avoid equalling an unwanted winless streak.

The Phoenix put seven past Sydney FC, giving Wellington their best ever win and the Sky Blues their worst ever defeat.

The Newcastle Jets impressed against Brisbane Roar, while Melbourne City's 30-game regular season undefeated run came to an end.

Canberra earned a first win over Melbourne Victory since 2017, while Adelaide United couldn't keep pace with Brisbane Roar.

The Wellington Phoenix's "Bev-olution" has begun while the lopsided ladder fails to describe the full picture of the season so far.

The Western Sydney Wanderers finally ended two unwanted streaks, while the Mariners' A-League Women title defence took another hit.

Jeff Hopkins 200th game at the helm of an A-League Women's team went according to plan, while there's a familiar feeling of stagnation at the Wanderers.

Brisbane's stars ensured the Roar began the season with a win, but the spotlight is on Sydney FC after the Sky Blues broke the league's youngest player record.

One club in "hibernation," another being propped up one season at a time. The A-League Women is never dull, and there's always a thrill of anticipation as a new season dawns.
