Swindon twice threw away the lead as Kelly N’mai’s equaliser earned Salford a 2-2 draw.
Town began brightly when Kabongo Tshimanga fired at goalkeeper Jamie Jones, who kept out Miguel Freckleton’s effort from the rebound.
Seven minutes in Tom Nicholls expertly tucked away his first Robins goal from Will Wright’s corner.
But Hakeeb Adelakun levelled by lashing in a loose ball in the 27th minute.
He then jinked past several players and squared to former Town player Rosaire Longelo who somehow missed from a yard out.
Harry Smith put Swindon ahead in the 71st minute when he trapped Paul Glatzel’s mis-hit shot and fired into the roof of the net
Seconds later Ammies substitute Tyrese Fornah caught Swindon napping and shot against a post, with N’mai converting the rebound.
Salford’s Francis Okoronkwo then broke free but smashed straight at Connor Ripley.
Glatzel worked some space in the box but dragged his shot horribly wide before Gavin Kilkenny drew a save with a cute floated effort, but Town could not find a winner
