Westfield W-League
The Western Sydney Wanderers did not get off to a good start against Melbourne Victory as the team went down via an own goal in the second minute on Sunday, December 11. It took until the 61st minute for the Wanderers to find the equalizer, but Melbourne went ahead again in the 84th and looked to be on their way to their first win of the season. Enter Katie Stengel‘s stoppage time equalizer to earn the 2-2 draw in dramatic fashion. (Match Report)
Next weekend, the Wanderers will take on the defending champions Melbourne City FC a week after Melbourne City recorded its first loss in club history in its second season as a team.
