Match ends, Kidderminster Harriers 1, AFC Telford United 1.
Andy Todd's wonder goal earned the Conference's bottom club Telford a much needed point from a 1-1 derby draw with Kidderminster Harriers at Aggborough.
Harriers created plenty of chances, taking the lead on 45 minutes when Aman Verma headed in from close range.
In contrast, Telford created very little until late into the second half when Sean Cooke's header was well saved by Danny Lewis in the home goal.
Todd found the top corner from 20 yards 11 minutes from time to earn a draw.
Liam Watson's Telford remain rooted to the bottom, now three points adrift, while the Harriers, who have won just twice in seven games, are ninth.
Telford are back in action on Tuesday night at home to Forest Green, while the Harriers are due to host Welling United at Aggborough 24 hours later.
Kidderminster Harriers manager Gary Whild told BBC Hereford & Worcester:
"In terms of making changes, you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. It's the first time this season I've seen the players lacking energy and desire, a bit of spark. We can't make wholesale changes and even if we could, I'd be reluctant to.
"The lads have had a lot of praise in recent weeks for their performances, where they were unfortunate not to get the results but, on Saturday, we were nowhere near good enough,
"Opportunities are coming along and we aren't taking them. We got nothing from Wrexham on Tuesday and on Saturday we got a draw - that's why we're ninth instead of top five. I don't think we ever really got started."
AFC Telford United assistant manager Dominic Morley told BBC Radio Shropshire:
"The lads put in a great shift after a very tough week, especially the game in midweek against Chester, but we've played well and deserved to get the point.
"We've had a few problems with training the last few days. We had five or six players out due to sickness and we've had to switch the formation due to injuries and having players missing.
"But to concede and to respond the way we did was fantastic. The all-round performance was brilliant. That's all me and Liam Watson ask for. The more we do that, the more we'll pick up points."
