Jamie Cureton opened his account for Exeter with two goals to beat 10-man Yeovil in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
The striker beat Adam Virgo to a long ball before firing past John Sullivan to put the Grecians ahead.
Yeovil's Sam Williams was then sent off for headbutting Troy Archibald-Henville but they equalised when Andrew Welsh fired past Paul Jones.
However, Exeter hit back when Cureton turned home Jake Thomson's cross before Ryan Harley floated in a free-kick.
Yeovil Town boss Terry Skiverton told BBC Somerset: "We're exactly where we were last season with the same amount of points and knocked out of both cups in quick succession and I'm disappointed because I think we've got a better squad.
"Silly decisions and sloppy goals have cost us tonight and that's something we've got to learn from.
"We're now without Sam Williams for three games for a piece of stupidity and now other people are going to get their chance."
