Catalans Dragons held on for an unconvincing 24-22 win over Wakefield to claim their first Betfred Super League victory of the season.
Last season's Grand Finalists flew out of the traps with two tries in the opening 12 minutes from wingers Mathieu Laguerre and Fouad Yaha and a one-sided home win looked likely.
However, Catalans struggled to convert their dominance into points and although Samisoni Langi cancelled out the first of Tom Johnstone's two tries, a late Max Jowitt effort left Wakefield trailing 16-10 at the interval.
Dragons captain Benjamin Garcia grabbed their fourth try after the restart, with Sam Tomkins converting and also adding a penalty, but they then switched off and allowed Wakefield back into the contest.
Johnstone scored a second try with four minutes remaining to give Wakefield hope before Tom Lineham raced downfield for an intercept try just as the full-time hooter sounded.
