In a thrilling encounter at Accor Stadium, Melbourne Storm triumphed over South Sydney thanks to Ryan Papenhuyzen's clutch performance, securing victory with an 84th-minute field goal in golden point.
The match saw South Sydney's Alex Johnston score four tries, and Latrell Mitchell contributed a superb kick for Tyrone Munro, which sent the game into extra time.
Despite the tense back-and-forth nature of the game, Melbourne maintained their composure and clinched the win.
This victory allowed the Storm to draw level on the ladder with the Warriors, who suffered an unexpected loss to the Panthers earlier that day.

The Panthers managed to defeat the Warriors 28-18 despite losing players Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Marata Niukore to injury.
The day's action featured another nail-biting match, as Brodie Jones scored in the 79th minute to help Newcastle edge past the Dolphins with a 26-20 win.
