Corey Parker kicked an extra-time penalty to give theBrisbane Broncos a 14-12 win over Wigan Warriors, in the second match of the 2015 World Club Series tonight.
It took the Australian side just seven minutes to score the opening try, as hooker Andrew McCullough crashed over unchallenged from close-range, after a Joe Burgess error.
Wigan hit back through Liam Farrell, who latched onto the end of a George Williams grubba kick to touch the ball down, which left the score at 6-6 at half time.
After the break, the Broncos regained the lead when Lachlan Maranta dived over in the corner, as a neat move found him on the wing.
Parker missed the conversion, but he slotted over a penalty just 11 minutes later to establish a six point lead.
The Warriors pushed hard in the final few minutes and they took advantage of a Broncos error, as Burgess ran the length of the field, swapped passes with Williams, and scored his side's second try.
Matty Smith converted which sent the game into extra time, with the next score winning the match.
Both teams missed drop-goal attempts, before Parker successfully converted the penalty in the 90th minute.
