An 89th minute goal awarded to Christian Paschkewitz looked to have sealed Mandurah's destiny to remain in the APB State Premier League next year after the earlier results meant City needed a point to keep them safe from relegation.

But Wilson's header which bounced off the crossbar and over the goal line in the 92nd minute shattered Mandurah's celebrations on a night marking the 40th anniversary of the club's history with several dignataries in attendance, including Westfield Matildas coach Tom Sermanni.

Instead, the Knights will travel to Macedonia Park next weekend to face second-placed Stirling knowing a draw will be enough to see them finish the season on top of the APB State Premier League table.
