Wigan Warriors survived a dramatic York Knights comeback to win 23-22 in a nail-biting Super League clash. Ata Hingano scored the late try that sealed victory but also received a yellow card in the first half, arguably costing his side momentum after their opening day win over Hull KR. Early tries from David Nofoaluma and Paul Vaughan gave York a strong start, but Wigan fought back, with Liam Marshall scoring twice to reduce the deficit to four points at halftime.

Second-half tries from Noah Hodkinson and Adam Keighran, plus Keighran's boot, put Wigan in control before York's Sam Cook and Hingano rallied them back to within one point. A final Wigan defensive lapse allowed Hingano to score again, but his subsequent pass to Danny Richardson for a drop goal attempt was wayward, securing the win for the hosts.
