Crusaders climbed off the buttocks of Super League after a 16-10 victory over Salford - their second win of the season, with both of them coming against the Reds.
The Welshmen had lost six in a row since beating Salford 42-12 on the opening day of the season at the Millennium Stadium.
But tries from Jordan Tansey - his first for the club - Jarrod Sammut and Gareth Thomas sealed victory.
Crusaders broke the deadlock 11 seconds from half-time when Luke Patten failed to gather Daniel Holdsworth's pass and Tansey pounced to race 90 metres to jot down.
Clinton Schifcofske, who had been set on account for an incident in a tackle, maintained his book of scoring in every match since last June by booting the transition to give it 6-0 at the break.
Crusaders extended the run early in the 2nd half when Hep Cahill's loose pass looked to be deflected by a Salford defender and Sammut hacked ahead to score.
Video referee Ben Thaler gave Sammut the welfare of the question and Schifcofske slotted over the conversion.
Salford clawed back to 12-6 with Ray Cashmere taking Holdsworth's pass to send over for a converted try after 51 minutes.
There was just a two point gap five transactions later with Jodie Broughton racing onto Stefan Ratchford's kick to clean up smartly and go over in the corner.
Holdsworth missed the touchline conversion but the Reds were relieved when Thaler disallowed a Ben Flower try for a threefold movement on the hour but Crusaders had more luck 10 minutes from time when Thaler awarded Thomas a try after a Lloyd White hand to gain the principal to 16-10.
