The Salford Red Devils have pulled off a stunning upset in the Super League, defeating the Warrington Wolves 25-12 at the Halliwell Jones Stadium. The win, which marks only Salford's third victory of the season, was a testament to the team's resilience and determination.
The match got off to a lively start, with Matt Dufty scoring an early try for Warrington. However, the Red Devils soon found their footing, with scores from Jack Darbyshire and Justin Sangare putting them ahead at the break. Despite Jake Thewlis's attempt to restore parity for Warrington, Sangare and Tiaki Chan's tries ensured Salford's lead, which was sealed by Rowan Milnes's late drop-goal.
Warrington's head coach, Sam Burgess, was left disappointed with the loss, attributing it to a lack of spirit and a tough season that has taken a toll on the team. "It's a tough night. A really tough night. It's not the first time it's happened. It's really disappointing," he said.
On the other hand, Salford's boss, Paul Rowley, was overcome with emotion, praising the team's ability to galvanize team spirit and connect with the fans. "What we're good at here is galvanising team spirit. We've bought a load of strangers together, and I've always said our players are characters, and what you've seen is a group of lads - strangers - connect really quickly and fight for one another," he said.
The win has boosted Salford's morale, and they will look to build on this momentum as they face Leigh next week. The Red Devils' victory is a testament to their character and determination, and they will be hoping to carry this form into their upcoming matches.
