Mansfield ended a run of five straight losses in League One by drawing at Charlton.
The Stags stopped the rot to stay one point above their opponents in the table as the Addicks remained without a win at the Valley since October 5.
Stags goalkeeper Christy Pym denied Karoy Anderson in the sixth minute after the Charlton midfielder had been played through by Tyreece Campbell.
Mansfield striker Lucas Akins ballooned a close-range chance over in the 27th minute from Frazer Blake-Tracy's delivery from the left.
Conor Coventry's cross on the stroke of half-time was headed straight at Pym by Charlton centre-back Lloyd Jones.
Charlton went close twice around the hour mark – both times through substitute Miles Leaburn.
First he shot past the right post with Campbell once again providing the pass and the pair quickly combined again as the striker's header grazed the upright.
Mansfield's Elliott Hewitt failed to find the target when Aaron Lewis' 63rd-minute cross found him in space 10 yards out, meeting the ball with the outside of his right boot as it looped harmlessly over.
