Bristol City twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw against fellow play-off champions Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.
Wednesday were dominant before the break, scoring through Djeidi Gassama's fourth league goal of the season, but Max O'Leary denied him on another occasion to keep the scoreline at one ahead at half-time.
The visitors cleaned up their act in the second period with Nahki Wells heading in the equalizer, but Di'Shon Bernard restored Wednesday's lead two minutes later.
However, Wednesday again could not hold on and had to share the spoils thanks to Ross McCrorie's late header.
Neither team had anything to shout about in the opening quarter, but Clinical Wednesday were right up front with their first real threat.
Josh Windass broke forward and passed a ball wide for Yan Valery, his lovely low cross expertly stopped into the far corner by Gassama.
City failed to impress in a disappointing first half and the Owls appeared to threaten a second half. Barry Bannan tried to bend one in from 25 yards but O'Leary was there to meet it comfortably and make his first save of the match.
The hosts continued to push and some neat interplay between Bannan and Gassama allowed the latter to finish his shot, only to be denied by the outstretched O'Leary who managed to sweep his hand wide of the target.
Just 36 seconds after the break, Bannan tried his luck with a daring effort from 35 yards to see if O'Leary was alert, but the City keeper produced an easy save.
The Robins punished their opponents for all their missed chances with their first effort on target in the 53rd minute.
Rob Dickie picked out a wonderful pass to Mark Sykes and he delivered a ball for Wells, who headed emphatically past Owls keeper James Beadle.
But City were level for just 111 seconds before regaining the lead on Wednesday.
Bannan pulled the strings in midfield and passed to Bernard, who used clever footwork to create an opening and fire it into the bottom corner.
City began to enjoy their best period of the match as they looked for an equalizer and Luke McNally should have done better to fire his free header home from Max Bird's corner.
Wednesday sat deeper and paid the price four minutes from time when another Sykes cross caused trouble and this time McNally headed back across goal for McCrorie to nod in his first for the club.
And the visitors were millimeters away from taking all three points when Sam Bell rattled the crossbar in the 90th minute.
