The Raiders secured a tense victory over the Warriors at a sold-out Go Media Stadium, ending the Warriors' winning streak.

Jamal Fogarty scored midway through the second half, giving the Raiders a six-point lead with 18 minutes remaining.

Despite spending most of the match inside the Raiders' 20, the Warriors struggled to score.

In a crucial moment with under two minutes left, Raiders players Corey Horsburgh and Morgan Smithies executed a vital tackle on Marata Niukore, successfully holding him up over the line.

This try-saving play helped the Raiders clinch a hard-fought 16-10 win in wet conditions, in front of over 26,000 fans in Auckland.
