Wellington Phoenix shared a six-goal thriller with Perth Glory at QBE Stadium on Saturday, the visitors battling back from behind to draw 3-3 in the A-League.
Last season's champions Adelaide United, meanwhile, remain firmly rooted to the bottom of the table after their match at Western Sydney Wanderers ended goalless.
CASTRO SEALS STUNNING GLORY COMEBACK
Perth looked like they would have nothing to show for their efforts after making the A-League's longest away trip until Diego Castro sent a swerving, dipping free-kick home from the right-hand edge of the area with nine minutes to go.

Perth remain third in the standings but will be overtaken by Melbourne City and Brisbane Roar if they beat Central Coast Mariners and Newcastle Jets respectively on Sunday, while Wellington are seventh.
STALEMATE DOES NOTHING TO LIFT UNITED GLOOM
Phoenix would have moved level on points with Western Sydney had they held out, as Wanderers were held by lowly Adelaide in the late kick-off.
The two lowest scorers in the competition gave an unwelcome demonstration of why they hold such an unwanted collective status, although Terry Antonis almost won it for Western Sydney in stoppage time when he crashed a free-kick against the bar.
