Craig Noone's goal gave 10-man Plymouth victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
Argyle took the lead after Bradley Wright-Phillips found Carl Fletcher, who drove in from 20 yards.
James O'Conner then equalised with a powerful header, and minutes later Bonds N'Gala saw red after he fouled Neil Mellor when clean through on goal.
But Wright-Phillips headed Argyle back in front after the break, and despite Tommy Miller's superb volley to level the game, Noone's header settled it.
Plymouth Argyle manager Peter Reid told BBC Radio Devon: "I've played for some good side and I've managed some good sides, but I can honestly say I was so proud of the team out there.
"I thought they were absolutely fantastic, a few things went against them, but the way they dug in was absolutely brilliant.
"They played with no fear and that's the biggest thing for me, they looked a confident side and they looked strong."
Sheffield Wednesday manager Alan Irvine told BBC Radio Sheffield: "Some of the things that happened just should not have happened. They were unacceptable.
"Conceding goals, poor defending and not having the right mentality. That's what I'm bitterly disappointed about.
"You learn lessons all the and I'm learning lessons about my players that's why I'm disappointed."
