Christian Leali’ifano kicked the conversion superbly to add to his 3 penalties and give the Wallabies a crucial test win.
All the Lions’ points had been from the boot of Leigh Halfpenny, who missed a final attempt right at the end.
It means the series goes down to the final test in Sydney next week.
