It was their third win of the season and improves them to tenth on the table.
An impenetrable defence secured Wellington back-to-back clean sheets in the process as they built upon last weekend's victory at the Newcastle Jets.
A screamer by Reno Piscopo on the half hour mark saw Phoenix go ahead against the run of play before David Ball scored for successive matches when he connected with James McGarry's cross five minutes later.
The second half began in similar fashion when 19 year old Ben Waine nudged home from close range after Tando Velaphi's save fell kindly into his path on the hour mark.

It has been just over a year since Robinson has stood on the podium on the circuit and it's the 19-year-old's fourth ever World Cup podium.
Robinson was in seventh third place after the first run, just under a second behind American star Mikaela Shiffrin.
She skied into top spot after her second run and despite having the best second run time, she was overtaken by local Petra Vlhova who had the best combined time with Shiffrin third.
"In the second run I just fully attacked and was so confident in what my plan was, and it felt easy. I came down with a big lead and I managed to stick until Petra came down into first, then Mikaela came down after leading the first run into third so I ended up in second position which is a season best result so I am really happy."
Robinson will be racing one last time this season, at the Giant Slalom World Cup Finals, to be held in Switzerland on March 21st.

Rangers celebrate first title in 10 years
Rangers celebrated their first Scottish football league triumph since 2011 after Celtic were held 0-0 by Dundee United to hand their bitter Glasgow rivals the title.
Rangers fans had flouted Covid-19 lockdown restrictions to gather outside Ibrox before and after yesterday's 3-0 win over St Mirren which moved the team to within a point of the title and Celtic needed a win to delay their celebrations.
But despite Celtic dominating possession and having more than 25 shots during the game, the visitors were unable to find a way past a determined United side.
Steve Gerrard's Rangers have 88 points from 32 matches - 20 points more than Celtic - and have claimed a 55th league title, taking them four ahead of the total won by their neighbours.
Six minutes into Sunday's match, Rangers fans flew a banner over Tannadice Park that read 'Can you see us now?! #55 titles' and United ground staff later had to douse flames after some individuals threw flares into the stadium.
The title success is especially sweet for Rangers, who spiralled into financial turmoil and were demoted to Scotland's bottom tier in 2012 after entering administration.
With former Liverpool and England midfielder Gerrard in charge, however, the Glasgow side have ended Celtic's grip on the league crown that has stretched back for nine seasons.

Rookie Kobe Bryant collectors card sets record
A flawless Kobe Bryant rookie card, considered "one of the rarest in existence," according to Goldin Auctions, has sold to an anonymous buyer for $1.795 million.
The Topps trading card is one of just two in the world considered to be in "black label pristine condition," the auction house said, and is the most expensive Kobe Bryant card ever sold.
The NBA basketball champion died a little over a year ago in a helicopter crash in Los Angeles alongside his daughter and seven others at the age of 41.
"The fact that it sold for the final auction price of $1.795 million, the all-time record for any Kobe Bryant card, speaks to just how beloved he was around the world," said Goldin Auctions founder Ken Goldin.
The 18-time NBA All-Star retired from the league in 2016 after one of the most decorated careers in basketball history, and is the NBA's fourth all-time leading scorer.
Basketball rookie cards, which are often coveted by collectors, are trading cards that are the first to feature an athlete after they reach the professional ranks.
