The Western Sydney Wanderers have gone down in their W-League season opener with a 2-1 loss to the Newcastle Jets at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle.
In hot conditions which resulted in drinks breaks for the players midway through each half, it was the Wanderers leading goal scorer last season Katie Stengel who tapped the ball home on the quarter hour mark, which gave the hosts the advantage following a defensive error from the Wanderers.
The Wanderers would hit back with a brilliant equaliser with 15 mins to go, Erica Halloway finishing off with her head some super lead up play from Lo'eau La Bonta and Marlous Pieeta.
However, 60 seconds later another blunder by WSW keeper Trudy Burke - who came out for a floated free kick but missed her punch - gave Jenna Kingsley the easiest of headers to regain the lead and all three points for Newcastle.
