Leigh Leopards secured a place in the Betfred Super League semi-finals with a 14-6 victory over Salford Red Devils in a thrilling elimination match. The first half saw Salford take a 2-0 lead through a penalty goal by Marc Sneyd, but Leigh surged back after halftime with tries from Josh Charnley and Gareth O'Brien, aided by Edwin Ipape's impressive solo effort. Despite a late try from Salford's Ethan Ryan and a yellow card for Leigh's Jack Hughes, they maintained their lead to clinch the win. This victory marks a significant achievement for Leigh, who have rebounded from a low position in the league to reach the knockout stages for the first time in their history. The Leopards will now face either Wigan Warriors or Hull KR in the next round, aiming for a historic Grand Final appearance. The match was notable for its record crowd and intense defensive displays from both teams.
