Martin Foyle's York had set a club record with nine straight league wins
Record-breaking York City's winning league run came to an end as they were deservedly held to a draw at Histon.
Ben Purkiss looked to have set Martin Foyle's men on their way when he belted his side in front from 25 yards.
But York were denied a 10th league win when Luke Graham was adjudged to have fouled Nathaniel Knight-Percival, who appeared to be backing in.
And, from Gareth Gwillim's free-kick, Bradley Hudson-Odoi fired into the top right corner from close range.
York were crucially without 24-goal top scorer Richard Brodie, who is serving a two-game ban.
That had an effect as Foyle's side missed the chance to close the gap on leading pair Stevenage and Oxford.
And it could have been worse for them, Histon wasting the best chance of snatching a winner when Hudson-Odoi's strike was saved by York keeper Michael Ingham.
But the Stutes' point was still enough to lift them nine points clear of the drop zone.
Martin Foyle told BBC Radio York:
"I personally didn't think it was a free kick but you've still got to defend it.
"And we simply gave too many free kicks away.
"The referee was penalising my centre halves every time they jumped.
"We've had a fantastic run of wins and the lads are disappointed at it coming to an end, but we're still unbeaten over a long period in the league.
"And I'm actually delighted with the point.
"This is not an easy place to come. It was a hard-fought game. Histon have worked very hard and put us under pressure for long periods."
