Salford City secured a 1-0 victory over Swindon Town at Moor Lane, extending their unbeaten streak in League Two to four games. The match-winning goal came from Joe Powell, who scored a stunning strike from 35 yards out in the 77th minute, helping Salford remain close to the play-off positions.

Swindon started the match strongly, applying pressure and keeping Salford pinned in their own half during the early stages. Despite this dominance, the visitors were unable to convert their control into clear scoring opportunities. Ollie Clarke’s close-range header presented their best chance, but it failed to find the net.

As the first half progressed, Salford began to grow into the game, with Brendan Wiredu nearly opening the scoring shortly after the 30-minute mark before his shot was blocked. Early in the second half, Swindon had a promising moment when Aaron Drinan broke through on goal, but his effort was deflected wide by Salford goalkeeper Will Norris.

Powell’s long-range effort ultimately decided the match, as his shot found the top corner beyond the reach of Swindon goalkeeper Connor Ripley. The win keeps Salford in contention for the League Two play-offs, reflecting their improving form in recent fixtures.
