BETFRED Super League:
Salford Red Devils 30-37 Castleford Tigers Salford (24) 30
Tries: Brown, Evalds, Lussick, Yates, Williams Goals: Inu 5
Castleford (24) 37
Tries: Richardson, Shenton, McShane 2, McMeeken, Millington Goals: Richardson 6 Drop-goal: Richardson..Castleford fought back from 18-0 down to claim a hard-fought Super League win over Salford in an enthralling match.
Kevin Brown, Niall Evalds and Joey Lussick all crossed for the Red Devils before tries from Danny Richardson, Michael Shenton and two from Paul McShane saw Cas turn the game around.
Luke Yates then scored just before the break to leave the score 24-24.
Cas' Mike McMeeken and Salford's Rhys Williams traded tries before Grant Millington won it for Tigers late on.
Victory meant the Tigers avoided losing a fourth successive game under coach Daryl Powell for the first time since he took over in 2014.
The Red Devils, who went into the game off the back of a 50-12 defeat by Leeds Rhinos, started the match with three unanswered tries in the opening 11 minutes.
They were gifted the opening try of the game when Brown cut out a George Griffin pass on the halfway line and raced away to touch down between the posts, and the 35-year-old's cute inside pass then let Evalds run in against the side he will be playing for next season.
Things went from bad to worse for Cas as Lussick dived in after the Tigers had given away a penalty.
Richardson got Castleford back in the game with a brilliant piece of skill to kick through for himself on the last tackle, and Shenton further reduced arrears as he stormed over after quick passing.
McShane then ran in two quickfire tries as Powell's men turned an 18-point deficit into a six-point lead in 12 minutes.
Yates then levelled the score just before half-time only for McMeeken to put Cas back in front after the restart.
The ebb and flow of the game continued with Williams doing brilliantly to get over in the corner before Richardson kicked a drop-goal to edge Cas back in front.
Fittingly, it was Richardson who set up the game's winning try with a delicate grubber kick that was scooped up by veteran Millington.
Salford coach Ian Watson:
"A massive momentum shift in the first half cost us the game.
"We should have been better than that. We started to do things that weren't us and gave them a bit of a sniff.
"Defensively we needed to be a whole lot better. We stayed with our systems and stayed in the game but we probably chased the scoreboard when we didn't need to."
Castleford coach Daryl Powell:
"There are a lot of things to improve but it was an important win for us. It's been a real tough re-introduction into the competition for us.
"We had to win tonight, if we had lost it would have been really difficult to start picking the pieces up and finding our way into the top four.
"We did some of the damage to ourselves when we went 18-0 down but it was incredible from there to fight our way back and win a tight, tense, end-to-end game."
Salford: Evalds, Inu, Welham, Inu, Kear, Williams, Lolohea, Brown, Dudson, Lussick, Yates, Greenwood, McCarthy, Flanagan.
Interchanges: Pauli, Ikahihifo, Burke, Ackers.
Castleford: O'Brien, Olpherts, Foster, Shenton, Eden, Mata'utia, Richardson, Watts, McShane, Griffin, Holmes, McMeeken, Massey.
Interchanges: Millington, Milner, Moors, Turner.

...CORAL CHALLENGE CUP QUARTER FINALS DETAILS CONFIRMED... Salford Red Devils will face Catalans Dragons On Friday September 18, in the opening tie of the 2020 Coral Challenge Cup quarter finals.
The match will mark the start of two double-headers later this month – with all four matches broadcast live.
The BBC’s selected ties – the rematch of last year’s Wembley Final between Warrington Wolves and St Helens, followed by Wigan Warriors against the winners of the outstanding Sixth Round tie between Castleford Tigers and Hull FC – will be played at Salford’s AJ Bell Stadium on Saturday September 19. The BBC’s coverage will start on BBC1 at 2pm, with kick off between Warrington Wolves and St Helens at 230pm.
That follows a Friday night double header at the Totally Wicked Stadium in St Helens on September 18, with all the action shown live by Sky Sports – the 2018 Coral Challenge Cup winners Catalans Dragons versus Salford Red Devils, followed by Leeds Rhinos versus Hull Kingston Rovers in a repeat of the 2015 Final.
The Totally Wicked Stadium will also host the Castleford-Hull Sixth Round tie on Sunday week, September 13 – which will be shown live on BBC1, with a 3pm kick-off.
As with all Betfred Super League fixtures since the resumption of the 2020 season in August, all matches will be played behind closed doors because of Government restrictions.
Mark Foster, the RFL’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “It’s a great result for the game to be able to confirm that all eight of the remaining ties in the 2020 Coral Challenge Cup will be televised live across the BBC and Sky Sports.
“With all games remaining Behind Closed Doors in September, we have worked with our broadcast partners to deliver double headers at two facilities which have already staged successful events in recent weeks – the Totally Wicked Stadium in St Helens, and the AJ Bell Stadium in Salford.
“That means clubs giving up home advantage – but given the exceptional circumstances of this year’s competition, which has already required a re-draw, we have asked the players, coaches and supporters of those clubs to support us in the need to work flexibly for the wider good of the game.
“We will shortly be confirming details of the semi finals on Saturday October 3, and the 2020 Coral Challenge Cup Final on Saturday October 17 – another opportunity for Rugby League to celebrate given the unique challenges of the sport’s 125th anniversary year.”
