Heyman netted in the 11th minute for the 1-0 triumph before Phoenix captain Annalie Longo's dog stole the show at Porirua Park to a stirring crowd rendition of the Baha Men classic "Who let the dogs out?''Canberra are second on the ladder but their away win has come at a cost, with recruit Aideen Keane likely for a stint on the sidelines.
Wellington are also sweating on the fitness of goalkeeper Carolina Vilao after Keane's knee smacked into her opponent's upper thigh just before her hamstring injury.Vilao played on in visible discomfort before being replaced by Aimee Danieli for the second half. The Phoenix, brought to life by Grace Jale and a brief canine cameo, came out firing after the main break to take 19 shots to eight, but could not salvage a point.
