Wigan lose by golden point after first Super League 0-0
ICONIC boxing announcer Michael Buffer called Super League's opening night but Leigh's Gareth O'Brien delivered a knockout punch on champions Wigan.
Remarkably, for the first time in Super League's 30-year history - and since 1993 in the British game - a match ended scoreless after 80 minutes.
But cool-headed stand-off O'Brien stepped up to score a golden-point winner with a dramatic drop goal in front of a record opening Super League attendance of 21,748.
Wigan, quadruple winners last season, had been reduced to 12 men for the second time when centre Adam Keighran was yellowcarded for a 79th-minute swinging arm on Lachlam Lam.
Leigh hadn't won at Wigan since 1983.
