Two points dropped for the Wanderers, who could only manage a 1-1 draw at home to the A-League strugglers Melbourne Heart.
Both goals came late in the first half, but Western Sydney dominated after the break and created more than enough chances to grab a win.
It was a frustrating return to Pirtek Stadium and coach Tony Popovic will be disappointed with the result.
Heart's goal in the 38th minute was against the run of play. David Williams sent the ball in from the left, but his cross evaded everyone and landed up in the back of the net, giving the visitors a shock lead.
It didn't take long for the Wanderers to respond, when Aaron Mooy's solo strike just before the break leveled things up.
Youssouf Hersi, a livewire down the right, had the best chance to put the Wanderers in front when he skipped past the Heart defence, only to drag his shot inches wide of the post.
Harry Kewell made his long awaited return with 20 minutes to play, but was kept off the ball as the Wanderers went all out in search of an elusive winner.
Mooy, who had an impressive game, was the architect of most of the home-side's chances in the final 10 minutes, but just couldn't find the finishing touch.
It was that kind of game for the Wanderers - so many opportunities left begging in the final third.
Aside from their goal, Heart offered little in attack. Still winless so far this season, they were desperate to hang on to a precious point in Parramatta. Popovic seems to have made Michael Beauchamp and Matthew Spiranovic interchangeable and this week opted for Spiranovic at the back.
