Auckland FC returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers at Go Media Stadium, highlighted by a stunning first-half goal from Jesse Randall.
After intercepting a poor pass, Randall cut inside and fired home from the edge of the box to give Auckland the lead.
The hosts dominated the first half before enduring a bruising second stanza, with Guillermo May coming close to doubling the advantage.
Head coach Steve Corica’s side held firm to secure all three points, leaving him just one point shy of 300 career managerial points ahead of next week’s clash with Adelaide.
