Newport County fall to a 2-1 defeat against Salford City as the hosts defeat County late on.
Harrison Biggins scored the first goal of the game with 20 minutes to go after scoring from his own half.
However, two late goals from Taylor Allen and Kelly Nmai secured the win for the hosts as they gain their first win of the season.
The visitors started the game on the front foot, with multiple opportunities falling to an orange shirt, but Salford were unable to find the net inside the penalty area.
Salford continued to threaten in the opening stages, with another opportunity falling to the hosts, only for Jordan Wright to produce an important save from close range.
County were then indebted to a superb piece of defending from Joe Thomas, who produced a phenomenal goal-line clearance to deny Abraham Odoh and keep the scores level.
The hosts continued to apply pressure, but Wright remained alert between the sticks to keep Salford at bay.
County eventually began to settle into the contest and created their first real opportunity through Alfie Merritt. The ball fell kindly to the forward inside the area, but he was unable to get his effort past the Salford goalkeeper.
The Exiles began to show greater attacking intent, with Cameron Norman delivering a dangerous ball into the penalty area. Lee Jenkins rose highest to meet the cross, but following a scramble inside the box, Salford managed to clear the danger.
Ciaran Brennan then tried his luck from distance, but with the midfielder leaning back as he struck the ball, his effort sailed over the crossbar.
Salford continued to pose a threat at the other end, with Odoh finding space to shoot from a tight angle, but his effort narrowly missed the target.
As the first half entered its final stages, the hosts continued to dominate possession and create the better chances, but County's defensive organisation and Wright's presence in goal kept the score level.
With five minutes remaining before the interval, Wright was called into action once again as Salford looked to find a way through.
Then, on the stroke of half-time, Joe Powell came within inches of opening the scoring for the hosts. His low-driven set-piece beat the County wall and struck the woodwork, before the danger was eventually cleared away.
County headed into the break with the score level, having weathered sustained pressure from the hosts while continuing to threaten on the counter.
County were forced to defend once again early in the second half as Jenkins produced an important intervention to deny Graydon a one-on-one opportunity following a breakthrough, clearing the danger before the forward could get a shot away.
Molyneux then provided a threat for County, cutting inside and beating his man before striking towards goal, but his effort flashed narrowly wide of the post.
County made their first change of the afternoon as Bamba was withdrawn for Matt Dibley-Dias.
The substitute made an immediate impact, winning a foul in a promising area of the pitch. The resulting set-piece was delivered towards Merritt, who connected with the ball but saw his effort fly wide.
County eventually broke the deadlock 10 minutes after the hour mark, as Biggins produced a spectacular 60-yard thunderbolt that flew into the back of the net, giving Norris no chance.
Salford found an equaliser not long after as Allen produced a composed finish, curling his effort beyond the reach of Wright and into the bottom corner.
The hosts then took the lead through Nmai in injury time after he connected perfectly with his volley as it found the back of the net.
Despite County's late efforts, the away side could not find an equaliser as Salford were rewarded with their first win of the season.
