Callum Paterson struck a stoppage-time equaliser to extend Sheffield Wednesday's unbeaten run to nine games with a draw at Exeter.
Wednesday started well with Josh Windass forcing Jamal Blackman into saving his early free-kick, while Exeter saw a Cheick Diabate header cleared off the line.
Mark McGuinness headed narrowly wide of the Exeter goal, while Tyreeq Bakinson - on as an early substitute for the injured Barry Bannan - fired just over the crossbar after a lovely Wednesday move.
The Grecians looked far sharper after the break and broke the deadlock in the 56th minute. Exeter wing-back Jake Caprice cut onto his right foot and let fly with a fine shot from 25 yards that flew across the face of goal and went under goalkeeper David Stockdale, who will feel he could have done better.
Jay Stansfield could have made it 2-0 in the 79th minute when Stockdale's awful pass went straight to him, but the goalkeeper redeemed himself with a good save.
Wednesday offered little as an attacking threat after the break but in stoppage time, Paterson's curling, side-footed shot from 18 yards snuck into the far corner to earn the Owls a point.
