Wellington missed a chance to go top of the New Zealand Football Championship after drawing 1-all with Otago in Wellington.
With the top 4 teams not playing because of Waitakere and Auckland's international duties, Wellington could have gone top with a win.
Meanwhile Canterbury grabbed their first win of the season and moved off the bottom of the table with a 2-1 win at Hawke's Bay, who now drop to the foot of the table.
Auckland, Waikato and Manawatu have 9 points from 5 games, Wellington have 8 from 6, Waitakere have 7 from 3.
