Ozan Tufan was on target as Hull City played out a draw with neighbours Scunthorpe United at Glanford Park.
The Turkish midfielder levelled with a deflected strike early in the second half to cancel out Fin Shrimpton’s excellent early effort.
New recruits Jason Lokilo and Rúben Vinagre played the opening 45 as Liam Rosenior named a strong squad for the Tigers’ penultimate pre-season test.
Jimmy Dean’s Iron are rebuilding following successive relegations to National League North and took a surprise 10th-minute lead after a well-crafted move.
Shrimpton strode on to a measured lay-off and guided a sumptuous first-time strike with his left foot perfectly into the far top corner from 16 yards.
Home custodian Aaron Chapman gathered a central Lokilo shot and was almost wrong-footed when Will Jarvis’ 27th-minute drive deflected off Max Kouogun but reacted well to hold.
Jacob Butterfield dragged a scuffed shot wide as sixth-tier Scunthorpe enjoyed the better of the first half, almost adding to their advantage.
Alfie Beestin’s swerving 25-yard free-kick was well struck but slightly too high, while Butterfield’s set-piece effort, from a wider position, was claimed by Thimothée Lo-Tutala.
Liam Rosenior changed half his outfield players at the break and one of the five alterations put City back on level terms six minutes later.
Harry Vaughan carried the ball into Iron territory before feeding Tufan, whose right-footed drive took a hefty deflection off Kouogon and looped into the top corner.
Slick interplay, again involving Tufan and Vaughan, culminated in Ryan Longman pulling wide from the edge of the area and the same man was inches from sliding home Lewie Coyle’s devilish cross.
City were rarely troubled in the second half but almost fell behind on 81 minutes as Jason Law turned neatly before striking a lovely 20-yard effort against the outside of the post.
The Tigers almost pinched victory with two minutes left but Chapman pulled off a fantastic reflex stop from point-blank range to tip Tufan’s powerful header from Ryan Woods’ corner over the bar.
