Plymouth Argyle's on-loan keeper David Button was the hero as his first-half penalty save ensured his side picked up a share of the points against Yeovil.
Button saved well from Sam Williams' spot-kick after Curtis Nelson brought down Andy Williams in the area.
Former Argyle man Paul Wotton also came close to giving the Glovers the lead with a strike from long distance.
Reda Johnson had the hosts' best chance but he was unable to convert after good work by Bradley Wright-Phillips.
