BROMSGROVE Sporting came from two goals down to bag a point at AFC Sudbury.
Marcel Lewis and Liam Pearce fired the home side into a commanding advantage in Southern League Premier Division Central at The MEL Group Stadium.
But a Billy Shaw strike just before half-time and a Kobe Hall goal just after the hour mark helped the Rouslers land a deserved share of the spoils with a 2-2 draw last Saturday.
Sporting started the game brightly with Jaden Charles missing the target with a curled strike from a decent position and Charlie Pavey hitting the post from inside the area in the first 10 minutes.
Tom Edge blocked an effort from Pearce well in the 13th minute before Pavey, Shaw and Hall all had superb opportunities to net in quick succession 15 minutes in, finding either the Sudbury defence or woodwork to be in their way.
The deadlock was broken after 16 minutes as Lewis neatly slotted home a shot from close range.
He almost doubled up three minutes later but his free-kick was palmed away well by Sporting stopper Rory Brown.
The Suds bagged their second goal in the 35th minute as Pearce calmly found the bottom corner from inside the area.
Bromsgrove halved the deficit at a crucial juncture on the stroke of half-time as Shaw stylishly netted from the edge of the box.
The 60th minute saw Bromsgrove's Josh Ezewele clear a Charlie Lewis header off the line.
A minute later Sporting equalised as Edge teed up Hall to score from mere yards out.
The Rouslers almost took the lead three minutes later as Pavey's impressive strike on the half-volley was saved by Sudbury keeper Lennon MacLorg.
The final moments saw the home side dominate with substitute Kaidon Tower-King hitting the side-netting from a promising position.
Brown made a sensational fingertip save to send a Sudbury strike over the bar in the fourth minute of additional time watched by 215 fans.
The result got Sporting back on the points trail after a 5-1 home crushing by Quorn last week ended their six-game unbeaten run at the UK Electrical Stadium.
Billy Kee and Simeon Cobourne gave the visitors a healthy lead going into the interval before Luke Cox and Cobourne netted to put the result beyond any doubt.
Jaden Charles notched up his first Sporting goal in the 69th minute but substitute Finn O'Boyle re-established the four-goal lead in the final moments.
Sporting host Stratford Town in the league on Saturday (3pm) and visit Worcester Raiders next Tuesday in the Worcestershire FA Senior Cup quarter-finals (7.45pm).
Meanwhile, midfielder and captain Reece King has left the club due to family reasons.
