The Wendouree Wanderers moved into second place in the Ballarat Amateur Soccer League after beating the Ballarat East Eagles 2-0 at the Alfredton Recreation Reserve.
The result arrived midway through the 2026 winter season with eight rounds remaining before finals. Clubs now focus on points accumulation ahead of the September playoffs that determine promotion to the regional division.
Both goals came in the second half on the main pitch at Alfredton, where the Wanderers controlled possession after the break. The Eagles had earlier chances at the Sebastopol Oval training sessions but failed to convert set pieces against a packed defense.
