    Well that's where we leave you for now, following a thrilling Super League play-off eliminator.

    Salford, who it's fair to say were not at the top of people's lists to make the play-offs prior to the start of the season, are 80 minutes from a second Grand Final in three years.

    FT: Huddersfield 0-28 Salford

    Huddersfield Giants boss Ian Watson told Channel 4:

    "They were too good for us. They blew us away. Credit to them, we just weren't there. We made too many errors and our discipline wasn't good enough.

    "We'll come back better and stronger. [This season] has been a good stepping stone for where we want to be. Today's just a disappointing end. We deserved a lot for the effort we put in.

    "[On Danny Levi's injury] Danny will be disappointed if he can't play in the World Cup. It's been a development season for him."

  4. 'The journey continues'published at 14:59 British Summer Time 10 September 2022

    FT: Huddersfield 0-28 Salford

    Salford Red Devils head coach Paul Rowley told Sky Sports:

    "It means the journey can continue but we're not ready for it to finish. This is another step on the journey and we're enjoying it.

    "It'll take some getting over this, we put a lot of effort into today's game. But we'll recover.

    "[On Brodie Croft] I was hoping and praying I was wrong, I'm disappointed. He'll be unavailable next week. We've got a job to do now and step over another rung in the ladder to allow Brodie to come back and display his talent on the biggest stage of all."

  5. 'We defended like we had to'published at 14:57 British Summer Time 10 September 2022

    FT: Huddersfield 0-28 Salford

    Salford Red Devils half-back Marc Sneyd told Sky Sports:

    "Especially in these big games, you can't expect to attack how you want to.

    "In the second half I'm not sure how many points we scored, but we defended like we had to do.

    "To come into this on play-off week and put a nil on a team like Huddersfield puts us in good stead for next week."

    All over.

    Salford were supreme. Meanwhile, that's a sobering defeat for Huddersfield boss Ian Watson against his former side.

    Both sides lost players to injury, Danny Levi to a knee injury and Salford losing Brodie Croft for the second half - and next week - due to a failed head injury assessment.

    Salford will take on St Helens as their reward for nilling Huddersfield in their own back yard.

    TRY: Huddersfield 0-28 Salfordpublished at 80 mins

    Andy Ackers, goal Marc Sneyd

    Salford are going through and they're doing it in style!

    Andy Ackers runs down the wing and perfectly dummies the onrushing Tui Lolohea before running in.

    Marc Sneyd kicks on his weaker foot and sends it for two.

    It's not awarded.

    The ball bounces onto the whitewash before Ricky Leutele could make contact with the ball.

    Looks like Huddersfield are going to get nilled, here.

    Ricky Leutele has gone over for Huddersfield.

    It's gone upstairs. Can Huddersfield at least get off the mark?

  10. Postpublished at 78 mins

    Huddersfield 0-22 Salford

    Marc Sneyd, who's been fantastic with the boot this afternoon, tries a long-range drop-goal attempt.

    Unfortunately - and uncharacteristically - for Sneyd, it's a poor kick and bounces low and behind the goal area.

    Hudderfield have nothing left to give. The scoreline doesn't reflect how well they have gone in this game and how much they have thrown at Salford.

    Ricky Leutele kicks wayward and in to touch and ends a promising break upfield for the hosts.

    Salford just minutes away from the semi-finals.

    Marc Sneyd tries an audacious curving kick across the Huddersfield half as Salford make their first attack upfield in a while.

    He aims it at Ken Sio but it sails in to touch.

    Salford are on the ropes at the minute but they're defending well against wave after wave of attacks from Huddersfield.

    10 minutes left for the Giants to find something special.

    The defence is outstanding from Salford. You can't see Huddersfield breaking them down.

    Chris Hill is the latest Huddersfield player to try and race to the ball as the Giants put the pressure on.

    But Joe Burgess is taking no chances as he follows Ken Sio's lead to bat it away.

    Ken Sio bats the ball away as Huddersfield's Ricky Leutele tries to run in and get to ground for their first try.

    Frantic stuff.

    Huddersfield 0-22 Salford

    Frustration sets in for Huddersfield again as Toby King concedes a penalty and Salford are awarded another set almost on halfway.

    Time ticking down now and Salford are ever closer to a Super League play-off semi-final against St Helens in seven days' time.

    There's still time for a comeback here, but Huddersfield need a score and they need it now.

    We're past the hour mark and they're still not on the board yet.

    Some pushing and shoving between Alex Gerrard and Huddersfield's Chris Hill.

    Some frustration from the hosts, maybe. It comes after Gerrard had been grounded on Salford's third tackle.
