12:32 pm on 12 April 2010

Waitakere United have won through to the final of this year's New Zealand domestic football competition in dramatic circumstances.

Team Wellington went into the semi-final second-leg at Fred Taylor Park leading 3-2 on aggregate and quickly extended their lead with a 10th minute goal from All White Andy Barron.

Waitakere equalised on the day with a 71st minute strike before former international Brent Fisher scored in the 92nd minute to send the home side through to the final on away goals.

The second semi-final will be decided on Sunday when defending champions Auckland City host Canterbury United at Kiwitea Street.
