Minehead AFC's away clash with Keynsham Town reserves ended in a 1-1 draw after a last-minute wonder strike.
The County League game saw Minehead without captain Stefan Phillips and top scorer Guy Burns.
Manager Craig Carr brought in Alcombe Rovers' striker Nathan Collins for his first appearance since September 2020.
Collins nearly made an immediate impact with his early header, narrowly missing the target.
Toby Waghorn also came close, with a shot going just over the bar.
Keynsham, having lost 8-1 to Minehead a month prior, were looking to redeem themselves.
Their top scorer, George Stevens, was included in the starting line-up and forced a fine save from Minehead keeper Greg Turner early on.
The game was end-to-end, with both sides creating chances.
Bertie Harvey-Larmar's 35-yard attempt sailed over the bar before a Louis Burge through ball set up Waghorn.
However, a late offside flag halted the attack.
Collins continued to threaten, with a shot well saved by Keynsham keeper James Bunton.
The rebound caused chaos in the Keynsham defence, but they managed to clear the danger.
Minutes later, Turner was called into action again, pushing a header from James Shrimpton over the bar.
Minehead gradually took control, creating spells of possession and applying pressure on their hosts.
A long-range free kick from Matty Ronan needed a desperate header off the line to keep Keynsham level.
The breakthrough came in the 67th minute when Ronan's pass found Collins, who slotted home from 15 yards out.
Keynsham responded with two substitutions and came close to equalising through Ted Keegan, but Turner blocked his shot.
With the game heading into injury time, a goal kick from Turner found Jed Tregidgo well inside his own half.
He controlled the ball and launched a stunning shot from around 60 yards, which nestled in the top corner.
The last-minute wonder strike rescued a point for the hosts.
Minehead's man of the match was Andy Hall.
The team line-up was Turner, Fin Harran, Toby Morris, Burge, JJ Knight, Hall, Harvey-Larmar, Will Singleton-Voss, Waghorn, Ronan, and Collins.
Luke Batts was used as a substitute.
