Auckland FC have suffered their second loss of the A-League men's season going down 1-0 at Perth Glory.
It was a shock result for both sides as Perth's win ended a seven-game losing streak.
The result means Auckland FC drop from first to third on the men's ladder.
Glory's teenage midfielder Jaylan Pearman was the star for the homeside scoring the winner in the 29th minute.
Auckland had chances and manager Steve Corica's side will be wondering how they at least did not get a point from the game.
Max Mata had one of their best chances in the 68th minute, but skied his shot over the bar.
All White's keeper Oli Sail had an outstanding game for Perth.
Perth remain 12th on the table.
Auckland finished the game with ten men after defender Adama Coulibaly was red carded in stoppage time for taking down a Perth player who was through on goal.
Auckland's next game is against leaders Melbourne City at Mt Smart next weekend.
Earlier on Saturday the Wellington Phoenix were beaten 2-1 by second placed Adelaide United in Wellington.
