Martyn Woolford scored with the final kick to earn Scunthorpe a point against promotion-hunting Leicester.
Martyn Waghorn outpaced David Mirfin to latch on to Jack Hobbs' header before firing past Joe Murphy from an acute angle as Leicester opened the scoring.
But substitute Woolford struck sweetly from the edge of the box as Leicester paid for some poor finishing.
The visitors should have been out of sight by then while Scunthorpe were indebted to Murphy for some fine saves.
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson:
"I am disappointed because we had chances in the first half to score more goals.
"But I am not going to have a go at my players because overall this was another good away performance.
"There was just one ball into the box that we did not deal with - and it has cost us.
"But we have scored a lot of late goals to win games in recent weeks. It was somebody else's turn to do the same to us."
Scunthorpe manager Nigel Adkins: "I thought we deserved it. Obviously we made life difficult for ourselves by giving away a poor goal in the opening few minutes.
"Leicester are a difficult side to break down and don't concede many goals.
"But we showed great spirit, we kept going until the end and finally got the goal we deserved.
"Our home form has generally been good this season, and this was another good result for us against a team up there near the top of the table."
