Re-live all the action from a wild day in the A-Leagues which had just about everything across three matches – including the breaking of an all-time record that stood for just 14 days!
In the one and only Isuzu UTE A-League fixture, Newcastle Jets and Western Sydney Wanderers played out a 2-2 draw at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Then in the Liberty A-League, Western United and Melbourne City drew 2-2 after a pair of absolute stunners, then Newcastle Jets and Western Sydney Wanderers played out a 1-1 draw as both captains scored – and there was a slice of history.
Only 14 days after Talia Younis became the youngest player in A-Leagues history, her record was broken by teammate Ischia Brooking who came off the bench in the 95th minute, aged 14 years and 347 days, claiming the record by 13 days.
She played only one minute against the Jets. Not a bad way to start a career!

An 86th-minute thunderbolt from substitute Kahli Johnson saw Western United register a draw for the first time in their Liberty A-League history, coming from behind to take a point in an exhilarating 2-2 stalemate with Melbourne City on Sunday afternoon.
It looked like goals from Holly McNamara and Hannah Wilkinson would be enough to see City secure their first win ever against Western after Hannah Keane’s early strike was cancelled out.
However, Johnson’s incredible late strike flipped the script and saw the spoils split.
