Tries: O'Brien, Senior Goals: Sezer 2 |
Aidan Sezer kicked a late penalty to make it two wins out of two for Huddersfield - their best start to a Super League season for six years. Adam O'Brien's try put them in front before Ken Sio responded for Salford.
In a tight second half, Dan Sarginson's score put Salford ahead but teenager Louis Senior's try levelled the match at 10-10.
After Sezer's all-important kick on 78 minutes, Sio almost crossed for Salford but was crowded out.
Salford, who made the Grand Final last season, have now lost two of their opening three league games.
With the hosts having lost James Greenwood, who went off after a heavy collision and failed a subsequent head injury assessment, Huddersfield opened the scoring when hooker O'Brien darted under the posts.
Sio replied for Salford after being sent over in the corner by Niall Evalds.
