For the second Vanarama National League match in a row, Torquay United secured a point despite being reduced to ten men against Kidderminster Harriers.
At the weekend, the Gulls had been reduced to ten men, following the dismissal of goalkeeper Fabien Spiess, against Welling United - and they also trailed to an early goal.
However, United dug in and an equaliser from left-back Dan Butler proved to be enough to secure what had at one stage seemed like an unlikely point.
A special mention must also go to rookie goalkeeper Daniel Lavercombe, who had a number of important saves after coming on as a substitute following Spiess's dismissal.
Nevertheless, Spiess's red card was later overturned and he was selected against Kidderminster at Aggborough on Tuesday night.
Two James Hurst strikes either side of Harriers' equaliser from Aman Verna - as well as Simon Heslop's second half dismissal - put the Gulls 2-1 up, which - in turn - makes Hurst United's top scorer for the season so far with four goals.
Unfortunately, his efforts were undone late on when he conceded a penalty that was duly converted by Kidderminster's Reece Styche to secure them a share of the spoils.
It was a game that Torquay could not afford to lose given theirs and Kidderminster's respective league positions - the Gulls are 18th, Harriers are 24th. Positive results in their next two fixtures, which are at home to Bromley and Boreham Wood respectively, would provide United with a huge shot in the arm in a period that has seen two directors - including Vice Chairman Ron Peterson - resign and the club face claims of unfair dismissal from former employees, several of which have so far been resolved, others remain ongoing.
