Salford Red Devils had to graft to overcome a dogged Castleford Tigers in an intense, low-scoring Super League affair on home turf.
Only a late Brodie Croft try ensured the hosts were all square at the end of a first half that the Tigers dominated and led through Greg Eden’s score.
Both sides had a try chalked off before Shane Wright steamed through to establish the lead for the first time.
Marc Sneyd’s penalty goal gave Salford an unassailable two-score lead.
