Accrington Stanley manager John Doolan said that they were certainly the better team as they drew 1-1 at Swindon Town.
It took just 21 seconds for Accrington to take the lead, as Swindon's centre did not go to plan and they soon found Stefan Mols running at them.
The midfielder was able to clip the ball over Stefan Negru to Josh Woods, who headed it into the corner of the net.
After the game, Ian Holloway admitted that he was "expecting a different kick-off" as he spoke of his frustration at conceding so early.
Even after a difficult few weeks, Swindon were able to pick themselves up and get back into the game, with Joseph Hungbo meeting a Dan Butler header during the first half to level.
The second half opened with Aaron Drinan racing through, but he uncharacteristically missed the target with only Louie Moulden to beat.
There was not much action between then and the final minute, when Cole Stockton had the opportunity to win the game, but Negru got in the way of his effort from eight yards out.

Swindon led the game in terms of possession, xG, and shots on target, but Doolan felt that his team were hard done by not getting a winner.
Speaking after the game, Doolan felt that his team had demonstrated their superiority and were unfortunate not to come away with three points.
He said: "We were the better team, and I thought that we should have won the game.
"They had a spell when they got the equaliser, and I wanted to get the lads in for half time.
"But in the second half we started on the front foot, as we did in the first half to get the goal, but that is us being aggressive and taking it to teams.
"We have done that today; we started the second half like that, and there were little bits where we were loose with the ball and lacked a bit of quality here and there, but so did they.
"We had more chances than them, so we should have won the game.
"I thought the 'keeper saved it [from Stockton], but it looks like it actually hit Negru on the line, but you wanted to see the net ripple, and I think that would have been just.
"I am happy that we got something out of the game, but disappointed we haven't gone and won it."
