In a thrilling Betfred Super League matchup, Joe Ofahengaue's 74th-minute try secured a 24-20 win for Leigh over Wakefield at the DIY Kitchens Stadium.
Despite Leigh initially taking an 18-6 lead through David Armstrong's two tries and a Darnell McIntosh score, Wakefield bounced back with 14 unanswered points.
Centres Oliver Pratt and Corey Hall scored for Wakefield, with Max Jowitt converting both attempts and adding a penalty, as well as converting his own first-half try.
However, Leigh rallied back, with Ben McNamara contributing two conversions and two penalties.
The Leopards now sit fourth in the league, just one point behind third-placed Leeds and four points ahead of fifth-placed Hull.
Wakefield, currently in seventh, had a rough start, marked by Jowitt kicking off out on the full while they were temporarily down to 12 men after Josh Griffin received a green card.
Despite the initial struggles, Jowitt orchestrated a clever play that allowed Wakefield to level the score momentarily after McNamara's penalty.
Ultimately, Ofahengaue's decisive late try clinched the victory for Leigh.
