Castleford Tigers delivered a stunning 24-14 victory over Wigan Warriors at the Brick Community Stadium, pulling off one of the Betfred Super League's biggest upsets of the season. The Tigers, who had been thrashed 34-0 by Wakefield in their previous match to sit bottom of the table, silenced the home crowd with an early try from Krystian Mapapalangi and never looked back.

Wigan, aiming to move level on points with the league leaders, struggled to find their rhythm despite briefly taking a 14-6 lead before halftime. The Warriors' hopes faded in the second half as Castleford regrouped with tries from Jack Ashworth and Mapapalangi again, with George Lawler adding a fourth score. The victory marked a remarkable turnaround for the Tigers, who had lost their last three matches by an average of 24 points.

This result keeps Wigan from joining the top of the table while giving Castleford a crucial confidence boost in their fight against relegation. The win demonstrates the unpredictable nature of the Super League season, where even the bottom-placed team can produce a performance to upset the established order.
