Hamilton Accies scored four goals in 26 minutes to complete an incredible comeback against Raith Rovers.
The hosts raced to a four goal lead in just over an hour as Accies looked set to start like in the Championship with a grim defeat.
However, Brian Rice's side never gave up and they battled valiantly to complete a ridiculous late comeback against all the odds.
Andy Ryan's introduction at half-time was the catalyst for a sensational last half hour from the visitors.
He set up Kieran MacDonald to pull one back before Ryan rifled home a second with a brilliant finish.
MacDonald added his second against his former club before Shaun Want - an auxiliary striker for the closing stages - powered home a header to equalise on 90 minutes.
Brian Rice made six changes from last weekend's Premier Sports Cup clash with Albion Rovers.
Ryan Fulton, MacDonald, Shaun Want, Lewis Spence, David Moyo and Callum Smith were all handed starts, while Scott McMann and David Templeton returned to the bench.
Accies made a promising start to life in the Championship and Lewis Smith curled narrowly wide after just 38 seconds.
The visitors threatened again a minute later but David Moyo and Callum Smith got in each other’s way and the chance was gone.
It was an entertaining opening to the encounter and Rovers came within inches of scoring on four minutes.
Accies bright start was halted on 11 minutes after referee Nick Walsh awarded the hosts a penalty.
A cross from the right struck Jamie Hamilton on the arm and Lewis Vaughan stepped up to fire into the bottom corner beyond the despairing dive of Fulton.
Hamilton enjoyed plenty of possession but they lacked a creativity at times and they were punished on 24 when Dario Zanatta doubled Raith's advantage.
The former Hearts winger drove inside of Hamilton and unleashed an unstoppable effort from 25 yards that flew in the top corner.
Academy graduates L.Smith and Marley Redfern were Accies' liveliest players during the first half and they combined on 33 minutes but the former's acrobatic overhead kick was straight at Jamie MacDonald.
Rice made a double change at the interval, replacing Moyo and Smith with Scott McMann and Andy Ryan but it failed to have the desired effect.
Raith added their third goal on 52 minutes when Aidan Connolly was afforded far too much room and he arrowed a powerful effort into the bottom corner.
The travelling Accies support voice their displeasure and Fulton had to claw a Reegan Tumilty cross off the line to prevent Rovers adding a fourth on 62 minutes.
MacDonald added a consolation for Accies against his former club on 68 minutes when he headed home from Ryan's cross.
Substitute Ryan went from provider to scorer as he rifled home a stunning effort on 77 minutes to give the visitors hope.
Hamilton looked buoyed and their comeback continued on 83 minutes when MacDonald slid home to score his second of the afternoon.
Accies' stunning comeback was completed on 90 minutes when Shaun Want headed home to spark delirious scenes amongst the away support.
