Exeter City and Newport County AFC played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at Rodney Parade.
In truth it could have been better for the Grecians, who were two goals to the good at the interval through a Tom Nichols penalty and a corking effort by Graham Cummins.
However the hosts came steaming out of the blocks in the second period and got back on terms through Yan Klukowski and Max Porter.
Both sides had chances for a winner, but neither could quite take them as a draw was the result in South Wales.
