There's heartbreak for the Wellington Phoenix in their A-League semi-final second leg in the capital.

Their season was cut short after a 2-1 loss to the Melbourne Victory following extra time.

Phoenix General Manager David Dome says it was a strong season for the team - one they hope to build from next year.

"We're in a really good space, we'll now flip into pre-season planning, putting together the squad for next year and who's going to go where - we're quite advanced in that to be honest."
