Salford Red Devils just had enough to overcome a dogged Leigh Leopards in a nip-and-tuck Super League thriller.
Paul Rowley's side had to come from behind to lead at the break, with Ken Sio, Sam Stone and Brodie Croft tries cancelling out Josh Charnley's score.
Tom Briscoe's score with Salford down to 12 for 10 minutes reduced Leigh's arrears but Tyler Dupree powered over to re-establish the visitors' lead.
Charnley's second and Ben Reynolds' try saw Leigh come up just short.
Reynolds' off-day with the boot proved the difference, as his two missed kicks led to defeat while Sneyd kicked three from four for the crucial two points.
